Most popular trading instruments

Forex does not trade on an exchange!
How do you measure the "popularity" of Fx trading?

What is the point of this thread anyway?

 

CFD's + GSO are -by far- the best instrument offered.

 

I think what you meant via your poll is to do a comparison.

Simply, you're curious about what's popular among EliteTrader.com members versus the exchange volumes.

I've traded wives a few times...

 

I forgot to put that on the poll. What are the spreads like?

 

Don't forget the commissions LOL

 

Stick with an out of the money call option with plenty of time to maturity, that or a straddle.

 

I was expecting that also. In stocks you have high liquidity and low capital requirements. You also have a ton of brokers to choose from.

 

Stocks are not the best trading instrument because of low leverage.

 

I agree its not the best, but do you really think that it's not the most popular?
