Difference between forex and stocks trading to take note?

The stock market is represented by companies from all around the world, and trading on the stock market means buying and selling stocks at different international companies like Apple, Tesla, and others. The forex market or foreign exchange market is a global decentralized or over-the-counter market in which those currencies are traded. On the forex market, you are making money on the difference between a currency price. Both of them are cool, but in the forex market, you can make much more money in a shorter period of time.

I still have to see the first retail Forex trader that is consistently profitable for more than just a few weeks.

Many say they are, zero provide any evidence.

Sure you can make a lot of profit being over leveraged in the FX market however you will also lose it all at some point due to the same reason: being over leveraged. If you cannot make money with less leverage it isn't the market at fault but rather you or the system itself.
 
The difference between stocks and the Forex market is that in forex, you deal with currency pairs by buying one currency and selling the other.

In the stock market its either you buy the shares or sell the shares in the stock.
 
Forex is more volatile and can be traded short term. To make money from stock you have to be ready for long term deals.
 
The largest difference between forex and the stock market is, of course, what you are trading. Forex, or foreign exchange, is a marketplace for the buying and selling of currencies, while the stock market deals in shares – the units of ownership in a company
 
The real difference, I seem to be insignificant, but it is, and many, not understanding this, make mistakes.
 
Despite the fact that it may seem that these are 2 identical directions, there is still a difference, and if it is not understood, the result will not be.
