Is it easier to make consistent profits with forex than stocks?

I have a theory that it is easier to make consistent profits with forex than stocks.

This is my reasoning.

When the stock market enters into a bear market, it is hard to make money with stocks because most stocks will decline. Even stocks with good fundamentals will fall in a terrible bear market.

In the forex world, there is no bear or bull market. This is because currencies trade in pairs. If this currency is bullish, then the counterpart is bearish. Unlike stocks where most will fall when the market is bearish, currencies don't fall in unison. When one fall, the other rises. Hence, it is easier for a skilled forex trader to make consistent profits than a skilled stock trader to make consistent profits.

Do the elite traders with experience in both stocks and forex agree with my theory?

Learning to trade forex is disastrously hard, there are so many variables that come into play and I believe there are shadow entities that are jumping around taking advantage of order flows. This is why you get strategies that will work for a while then fail, then work again. That's just for starters.
The Dow for example, companies need to meet certain parameters to be listed, when the don't they are unlisted. This creates an upward bias that takes massive market changes to form a collapse before companies can be exchanged to prop up the index.

Paul, do all the variables really matter to a technical trader?

Hello lovethetrade, great question. No, I believe if you have good money management, a lot of those variables are priced into the chart. ..But there is still that grey area between technical, fundamental and emotional that we easily get caught up in. That is where being inconsistent will wipe traders out.

Working on too many trades with different currency pairs might be risky for a trader and his account. Always follow money management rules.
