Some trades will be losers unless you chance on a 100% win rate strategy, so don't obsess over these. If buying stocks, only buy if their index is also bullish.

Generally its risky to buy when price is a a new high or to short when price is at a new low.

%% Good points; except in a good upTrending bull market buy Hi all the time. The very last trade .......[ turn point, bull into a bear......]may be a loser. But no such thing as a business without expences

Buy high?? You're better off waiting for a pullback and buying the dip. If you buy high and it retraces you get stopped out. Why take that risk? Trading's all about probability after all..

For stocks - long-term investing.
For forex - short-term. (I don't know about you, but I prefer to get my profits and get out before the classic FX choppiness kicks in!).

IMO

why you are going to choose a stock as a long term investment? Is it much easy or safe to do so?

Stocks, in general, are quite safe IF you do your research. Anything you could possibly want to know about the company is available to you - management background, financials, laws/restrictions, competition, what they’re spending their money on and blah blah.

The reason they’re good long term is the fact that you can earn dividends on top of any gains you make from stock price.

Also, you rarely see a stock jump from $5 to $20 overnight but it could get there over the period of a few years. Therefore, they’re more longer term.

FX is done on leverage so making decent gains in a few hours (or minutes) is entirely possible.
