    Stocks at this stage are easier, and I personally prefer stocks. Currency trade is not so easy to predict for one thing, your predictions are based on large amounts of international data, which most do not keep abreast of. Infact the forex markets are more speculative in nature in my humble opinion. Secondly currency at this point in time will be very very volatile, thanks to the troubled dollar. Stocks on the other hand are less volatile. You do not need to keep up with or be abreast of everything that is happening in this world, but just know everything about the company you are investing in. You do not need to look at financial statements and technical info every month, but all you do is just track the price and news around that industry. Yes in forex you will have to only track just the few major currencies. And trading in forex is cheaper and you get higher margins. But the art of getting forex gains write all the time is not an easy one to formulate.

    Neither is easier. It is like asking is it easier to master the violin or the piano. It just depends on your personal affinities and personal luck.
    With respect to margin, you can get much more in forex, and this is why you can get wiped out much more easily in forex if you are not careful.
    Just:
    1/ use your head,
    2/ do what you enjoy,
    And you will do fine with forex or stocks.

    It depends on how much money you’re trying to make, how fast, and what kind of strategy and discipline you’re using.
    Forex is considered riskier, because the margin is much higher. But if you know what you’re doing, it’s easier to control your risk in Forex, and easier to turn a steady profit.
    If you don’t know what you’re doing, you can lose all of your money faster in Forex.

    Forex trading is done on your schedule. There is no need to wake up at the wee hours of the morning and begin researching your buys and sells. You also don’t have to wonder if those decisions are going to be influenced by gaps in the market. Since trading goes on 24 hours a day, you can make all of your trades when you are awake and alert. This is a tremendous advantage when dealing with money.

    the stocks and currency pairs are connected, it’s personal choice.
    The stocks indicate better the economic situation in local country than the currency pair and may be it’s little easier to determine the trend and make decision.
