Italian term or phrase: ordini aggressivi
as used here: Barber, Lee, Liu, & Odean (2009), utilizzando dati del mercato azionario del Taiwan, evidenziano come gli investitori individuali incorrano in perdite maggiori nel trading di prodotti nei mercati finanziari e come queste perdite siano associate a ordini aggressivi. Il risultato principale mostra che gli individui in generale perdono e le istituzioni finanziarie vincono.
Tuttavia, è innegabile come il settore finanziario sia spesso coinvolto in problemi legati al conflitto di interessi.

Text is talking about people who invest without seeking any advice and people who seek advice from intermediaries who then have some conflict of interest. I understand that 'ordini aggressivi' here means huge amounts invested without real knowledge about what they're really doing but am not sure and would like to know how best to express it. Thank you.

aggressive trading
Explanation:
Aggressive trading is idiomatic, and it is a specific category of high risk trading. I.e., I think high risk is not wrong but it's too general a translation here.

aggressive orders


Explanation:
The Italian appears to be a translation paraphrasing the following passage in the paper being cited (see reference below):
"virtually all of the losses incurred by individuals can be traced to their aggressive orders. In contrast, institutions profit from both their passive and aggressive trades."
