Forex (Foreign exchange market) is an inter-bank market that took shape in 1971 when global trade shifted from fixed exchange rates to floating ones. This is a set of transactions among forex market agents involving exchange of specified sums of money in a currency unit of any given nation for currency of another nation at an agreed rate as of any specified date. During exchange, the exchange rate of one currency to another currency is determined simply: by supply and demand – exchange to which both parties agree.

A stock market, or (equity market), is a private or public market for the trading of company stock and derivatives of company stock at an agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately.
Stocks are usually arbitrary pieces of a company that the board of directors issues to the public so that ownership of the company is distributed among everyone with a piece of stock.The performance of a company’s stock is directly related to the performance of that company greater profits generated by the company translate into higher stock prices. Stocks can be sold off to make a profit or held for future gains.

Lets debate on it...

Forex trading is far less riskier than Stock trading, because with Forex you can leverage, and also your money is liquid, but you must make sure that you have the knoeldge before you trade. I believe in: Trade smart, not often

What I feel is that person with little knowledge about stock market can still make a profit knowing few basic things and certain knowledge related to the future growth, which would allow that person to invest in it and still create a profit and also stock market is good for long term investing.

I agree with Pierre. Foreign exchange trading is far less riskier than Stock trading. It is east to work with and since money is liquid one can leverage.

I like your argument. Just a last thought. Whenever you trade make sure that your entry level is favourable, and ensure that your stop/loss is in place. Always be disciplined. Treade samrt, not often.The US Dollar: Ignore it at your peril. Check out my trading strategy @ http://adcurl.com/u37

I agree with all of you,

The important advantages of forex over stocks are absence of middle men, 24 hour trading and high leverage. They are always in demand and this is an advantage during down trend. While on one side leveraging offers  huge return potential on the other it is very risky. Also forex is OTC traded and less regulated. I think forex trading is more demanding when compared to stocks though more rewarding.

Mr. Pierre Pienaar i would agree with you that its better to invest in Forex market rather than Equity market because there's only one place that offers you the opportunity to multiply your wealth whether the stock market is sinking or soaring ...
whether real estate is booming or busting ...
whether interest rates are flying or falling ... and
regardless of what happens to bonds or
commodities.

I'm talking about the currency markets, which are so liquid and so huge, they dwarf every stock and bond market on the planet combined!

so i would refer that if one wants to choose between the equity and forex market, he should choose the latter.

Elimination of middle man in forex as there are no extra parties between us,the trader, and the buyer or seller of the currency pair. This can save time and fees. Whereas in stock market, we may deal with a broker and the exchange, both who charge fees and commissions.

The maximum leverage with stock is 2:1 but when we trade Forex with CMS Forex, we can use up to 400:1 leverage. Thereby with a small margin of investment we can control up to 400times in curriencies. No doubt that leverage is one of the most appealing factors of the forex market.
