Is stock trading and forex trading different?

  1. The main distinction between trading stocks and trading foreign exchange is the instrument you are using. While stocks (shares of companies) are bought and sold in stock markets, forex is a market where currencies are traded.

    AND STOCKS, stock baskets, stock indexes are sold + bought by traders investors + held by investors, sometimes for decades.

    One metals dealer talking his book, said using only paper money is like when you get to the cash register, you give the cashier the coffee + you keep the paper label\LOL:D:D

    Nope, it’s not different.

    You make money on longs if it goes up,
    You make money on shorts if it goes down.

    See ? Same sh*t

    The forex market is far more volatile than the stock market, so yes, both are different.

  7. That’s the primary difference. In terms of volatility, the forex market can be more volatile than the stock market, which can make it more challenging to trade but also offers the potential for larger price movements.

    Forex trading is different from stock trading in the sense that it involves the buying and selling of currencies rather than stocks. Forex is also a global market and it is also the largest market out of the two.
