Forex or stock market: what to choose?

What things can define success or failure?

The success or failure is defined by understanding of risks and rules, ability them to use. Risk of smashup of the business always above the states. Much more diverse external influences which can affect a share cost. Accordingly, risks at financial gamble with shares of the companies above, than with currency. Legal matters, on the contrary, are is better studied on a share market. High volatility of currencies, for example, it is connected not with the currency, and with terms of trade (a shoulder 1:100).

The success or failure at financial gamble is advanced by likelihood evaluation of risk of separate financial instruments, terms of trade, performance of transactions and other operations and, of course, correct risk-management during an accounting period. Mathematics, the psychology and a correct estimation of risks advance an overall performance of the trader, instead of a financial market on which it operates.

Principal causes on which “experts” from a share market do not recommend to open the account on FOREX, the following: unreliability of storage of money on the account of the broker, distinction of quotations of the broker and an information system, the big spread (5-10 items), a shoulder (1:100) and too small quantity of financial instruments.

These assertions are disputable enough. Unreliability of storage of money on the account of the broker this is more than disputable question. The brokers working in the American share or future markets insure accounts of the clients. In the currency market is a similar situation. All serious companies, American or European insure accounts of clients on the segregated account against bankruptcy on any extraneous causes. A difference only in one thing: who insures what insurance company?

Anybody insures against loss risk of money as a result of financial transactions. From bankruptcy are not insured neither clearing houses, nor the brokers working on various financial markets. The same as and from problems with insurance company payments – especially if it somewhere it is very far. A choice of the broker is always risk which is necessary for considering at decision-making.

For example, the brokerage offices attending to proprietary-trading *, are broken much more often, than others. Distinction in quotations of various information systems in the currency market is shown often enough (the reason in organizational market organization FOREX) and does not exceed several items. Here for you there is no danger. On all financial markets (currency, share, future) for increase in the profit brokers use delay performed by the order. Any way in the stock market or in the forex market there are some advantages as probability of getting high profit and disadvantages as high risk of losing this profit fast.
