Are stocks easier than futures/forex?

You mention forex in your title but you and others ignore forex in your posts.

Is there some fundamental disadvantage to forex trading?

Forex is traded over the counter, not on an exchange. Therefore you must do your due diligence when selecting a broker, or you risk being front-run and ripped off on the spreads.
 
in the P/L threads,all of the consistent profitable traders did stocks.

but then I guess the pull to FX is very great...like a moth to a flame.
 
FX/futures is strictly a zero-sum. You have to outsmart other players. In stocks you can get lucky because of high earnings or other good news or you can get screwed badly by unfavorable news and a 20% drop in a day is possible but in futures you rarely see that and in FX once in 20 years like when Soros made a fortune. Your choice.
