Is stock trading and forex trading different?

[Handle123]

I would like to know is stock trading and forex trading different?

Chart wise, no when feed comes from a bank....but data that comes brokerage house can make a difference.

LOL, no commissions haha, but when spreads are wide, that's the free commissions.

News reports comes out 24 hours a day on multiple countries, can alter other currencies but seldom alters stocks.

Currencies have more sideways movement, but once a trader figures out how to trade chop, it becomes consistent friend.

My Automation trades chart patterns and indicators, it does not care reasons. Can't backtest reasons.

The main distinction between stock trading and forex trading is made by the asset you are trading in. Forex represents a market where currencies are bought and sold, while stocks (shares of companies) are purchased and sold in stock markets.

Stock trading is related to the buying and selling of shares of companies whereas forex trading is the trading of one currency for another.

Nope! They are different , despite the fact that they both involve price speculation. Forex trading involves trading of fiat currency pairs, while crypto trading involves trading of cryptocurrencies - a form of decentralised digital cryptocurrency.

Yes, stock and forex trading are different from each other. And this picture says it all.

Yes, they are distinct; in stock trading, you trade company stocks, whereas, in forex trading, you trade currency pairs.

The asset you are trading in is the key difference between stock trading and forex trading. While stocks are bought and sold in stock markets, forex is a market where currencies are traded.

IMHO the difference is in forex you have to watch at least two economies at once (at least the important data) while in stocks one is enough. Support and resistance in stocks are more absolute, sometimes also small zones depending on volatility and liquidity while in forex S/R tend to be big zones that can be overshot and undershot easily just to turn around. Forex has to be traded on higher time frames like 4h, daily, weekly if you wish to avoid noise, stocks can be traded on lower time frames. Indicators tend to work well on equities, in forex most fail.

thanks for your nice post . got some fine lies.
