The difference between A shares and foreign exchange transactions
Foreign exchange and stock markets have different capacities. Taking A shares as an example, the daily trading volume during the active trading period is about 200 billion RMB, while the daily trading volume in the foreign exchange market reaches 4 trillion US dollars.

Foreign exchange and stock trading time are different. Take A shares as an example. The trading day closes at 9: 30am, and 1 1:30 to 13, 13 to 15, and 15 closes, in case of legal holidays. The foreign exchange market trades 24 hours a day from Monday to Friday.

Foreign exchange trading and stock trading have different ways of making profits. At present, stock trading is still in a state that investors can only buy up but not sell short, that is, investors buy stocks, and the stock price rises to profit and falls to loss; Without the T+0 system, the stocks bought on the same day can only be sold the next day at the earliest. In foreign exchange trading, you can buy long or short.

Foreign exchange and stock trading are different. Stock trading requires sufficient funds, such as the stock markets of Industrial and Commercial Bank of 5 yuan and China. If investors buy 100 lots (1 lot is 100 shares), they need 50,000 yuan. The internationally accepted foreign exchange transaction adopts the method of margin, and investors buy standard euros with a contract value of $65,438+000,000. If the margin ratio is 200: 65,438+0, investors only need to pay $500 to trade.

Foreign exchange trading and stock trading belong to different fields.

Stock trading belongs to the securities industry. It is issued by a regulated listed company, and investors make profits through value-added and rights issue after purchase. There are fixed trading places, such as Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange in China. Foreign exchange transactions belong to the banking industry. Investors buy and sell not securities certificates, but currencies of various countries, and the investment income is determined by the rise and fall of currency exchange rates. Domestic investors buy and sell foreign exchange at bank counters or foreign exchange trading platforms opened by banks, and stocks are settled at stock exchanges through electronic platforms of securities brokers.
