FOREX VS. STOCK MARKET

Most of the stocks trader will be angry after reading this post. Do not worry guys, 

"I know the golden eggs are always in my basket."

However, forex market is more attractive than the stocks market in so many point of views. This post is for those who trying to decide between stocks market and forex market. I am not writing this post to underestimate the stocks trader rather to present some facts that may encourage the new traders to be involved in forex trading over stocks trading. 

Read along the post to know "Why forex trading is better than stocks trading."

Firstly, forex market is open 24 hours and 5days in a week, but the stocks market is open for a limited time frame daily. So, you can trade forex anytime you are free, if you are not a full time trader. 

Secondly, every individual stocks has its unique fundamental analysis, that is why studding the fundamental of over 5000 stocks in the market is almost impossible for a trader. Additionally, stocks traders also need to study the macro economic factors. In fundamental analysis of a currency, a trader should only study the economic factors of certain number of economies.

Thirdly, unlike stocks brokers, forex brokers charge no additional fees or commissions for the transactions. Forex brokers only charge a tight spread for every trades. Comparing with stocks, forex trading involves lower cost of transactions.

Fourthly, the orders can be executed immediately in forex market, but in case of stocks market immediate order execution is not possible. It is surely an advantage because the uncertain political or other news can be announced anytime and effect the open orders.

Fifthly, a currency pair can be profitably traded when either it is going down or up, but the stocks cannot be traded while going down. So, in forex traders can make profit when a currency pair is either bullish or bearish. The forex traders need to determine the direction of the price movement.

Sixthly, forex trading can be started with a small  initial investment like 20 US Dollars, but stocks trading with this amount of initial investment is point less. Not only this, but forex trading is more profitable than stocks trading. A 1000% profit can be possible in forex market.

Finally, forex market price cannot be manipulated by any individual, institution or group because of its gigantic size, but the price of a stocks or shares are manipulated by the institutions with big funds.

Dear Traders,  these are the points that encouraged me to be a forex trader. If you have any question about this post, you can drop a comment below to join the discussion.
