It's about moment you are buying. On forex you can profit both on increasing or decreasing movement. Forex is more corrective (retracement) market. Forex has leverage effect. You can win with hard work really much, but with litlle less working you can loss a fortune. In stock you must give much many to have much many, it is another filosofy than forex. But in all honesty poeple are maybe losing the most on forex market, becouse of income it propose (do you think it is paradox?). Forex is fast way in both directions, in stock you have only one way. Maybe you are talking about stock indexes, then it's alteranitve to forex. Maybe rather eysier in the beginning. If you don't have special talent you wil lose in forex continuously in the beginning. Dont give it up. You must learn how to do the things right.
You must find what suits you. If you are positional, swing, minute trader... Then find a menthod. Develop it (and share it with community which gived to you so much!;-). Be patient, dont push the trigger occasionaly - have discipline. All you know.
Hope you will joy the community!
