I currently only trade equities. I wonder if there are any out there that trades actively in both equities and currency markets. I know many traders trade options and equities or futures and equities as they are more tightly related. I might be moving to Asia in coming months and I'm playing with the idea of transitioning my trading into currencies. The timing in the US equities market is aweful there. I need to start trading at 10:30P.M. and market closes at 5A.M. If people like to share, I would like to hear about their experience of trading both market and experience of their transition.
Marquez Comelab, author of The Part-Time Currency Trader, started trading shares then moved on to currencies. He wrote an article on the benefits of currencies. See: http://www.marquezcomelab.com/content/articles/art002-ForexBenefits.html. If you read his blog, he shows you a couple of examples too.
