Is stock trading and forex trading different?

If you're a technical trader, there isn't much of a difference. The difference that I see, as a retail trader, is the leverage allowed. Both markets move the same on the charts but the difference is in the magnification of the wins or losses due to leverage.

 

this is a fine line , the traders who are TA expert there is no major difference between two.

 

i always like to depend on Fundamental trading knowledge which works permanently at all times

 

Its different in terms of source of income you can expect. In the first case you can invest and forget and expect a stream of dividends (if you picked dividend stock) in the second you can expect only capital gains. Also currencies are more cyclical than stocks which clearly has only upside trend.

 

Yes, some of the trading technique is similar in both markets. But there are a few differences between the two:

1. The stock market size is much bigger than Forex

2. The trading hours for the stock are limited. Meanwhile, for forex, it’s open 24 hours.

3. The leverage in forex is relatively higher than in stock trading.

 

technical patterns are unlikely to disappear soon, i.e. become useless. There are many market niches where lots of traders look for patterns and this fact is a premise for technical analysis to be useful for price predictions

 

this is a fine line , agree with your message

 

Forex trading is really difficult task , because there is no one who can predict the real faction of this market with certainly.

 

but there are so many traders who still doing profit from this trading place.

 

at the moment i am doing profit by scalping , sounds good . using GBP/USD pair
