Finding success in the stock market can be difficult. Luckily, there's a better way. Traders all over the world are switching to forex because of the many advantages of the forex market. With forex, you'll discover 24-hour trading and high turnover volume. Plus, with the forex market, you can turn small movements into big opportunities (for profit or loss).
Should I Trade Forex or Stocks?
Opportunities - Trading Forex 24/5 means you can access the market for longer than the NYSE's 8/5 operating hours.
Simplicity - Eight major currency pairs account for the majority of market volume in Forex trading. Eight major S&P 500 stocks account for just 20%.
Liquidity - Gauging movement in Forex could be easier due to increased market liquidity over stocks.
Market Growth - Forex has been growing for the last 15 years whereas the stock market has returned to pre-2001 volume.
Potential Profit / Loss - Small forex market movements can lead to large gains (or losses). The same movements with stocks can be relatively less impactful.

Disclosure
Demo Account: Although demo accounts attempt to replicate real markets, they operate in a simulated market environment. As such, there are key differences that distinguish them from real accounts; including but not limited to, the lack of dependence on real-time market liquidity, a delay in pricing, and the availability of some products which may not be tradable on live accounts. The operational capabilities when executing orders in a demo environment may result in atypically, expedited transactions; lack of rejected orders; and/or the absence of slippage. There may be instances where margin requirements differ from those of live accounts as updates to demo accounts may not always coincide with those of real accounts. Single Share prices are subject to a 15 minute delay.
