I have traded stocks before I entered the forex trader. The difference is that the stock market is open for a certain period of time. Entry is more difficult than forex. because of low leverage support you need more capital to start stock trading. And the stock market is more unstable than the forex market. and the forex market and the stock market are similar in many bases but differ in more by saying about the stock market you must have high capital to start ... read a lot of news and you can wait long before making a profit while in forex it is a faster market You start with low capital as $ 1 at some brokers like Instaforex
