Eventually depending on the trader itself, in the forex world, there is the various story inside experience in trading, there is a trader that might fail and quit, but eventually, they come back because still curious how to make money from forex, this is like as how to manage money to make money.

    Pros - Liquidity, Cons - volatility. More than $6 trillion are traded in the forex market every day, which makes it a great platform to make good profits in a short amount of time. But, the market is also quite unpredictable, hence making it very difficult for traders to judge where the trade would go. But, that is where different trading tools and techniques come into play, which is also a pro of trading.

    Easy accessibility

    Low trading costs

    High leverage

    24/5 open

    Low capital requirement

    And the cons that I can think of include:
    High volatility

    High competition

    I believe that the pros and cons of forex trading vary from trader to trader. For a professional trader, high volatility would be a pro because it offers great opportunities to make money. But for a trader who is just starting out, volatility would be a con because the market would change without waiting for them to complete their analysis.

    The foreign exchange market is very broad, and traders from all over the world participate in it. The importance of the foreign exchange market can be seen in the fact that the average daily trading volume of the currency market exceeds $4 trillion. Other factors that make it a lucrative place to trade largely stem from the fact that the market is massive.

    I don’t think that the forex market has any specific pros and cons that I would like to mention. You will see some traders will complain about volatility while others would find it as a way of making more money. It’s all about how you take it.

  10. Agree, there are so many trader forexes get fail because can't handle trading with care, maybe we often hear about 90% of traders losing money in forex trading, I don't know this is right or wrong, but based on experience, when trade recklessly, the result will often in failure, so forex is like as product that needs to handle with care is right.
