What's the difference between spot foreign exchange speculation and stock trading? Is spot foreign exchange easier to make money?
First, the trading time is different. Foreign exchange is traded 24 hours a day, but stocks are not. Second, the trading methods are different, foreign exchange is a two-way transaction, and stocks are one-way. Third, the liquidation method is different. Foreign exchange can be liquidated at any time, and the stock cannot be sold until the next day. Fourth, the trading leverage is different. Foreign exchange ranges from 1: 10 to 1: 500, and stocks are 1: 1. It is also for this reason that foreign exchange is easier to make money and lose money than stocks. It is said that foreign exchange is easier to make money because of leverage. If you do it well, you can get several times or even dozens or hundreds of times of profits with little investment. It is also the reason why it is easier to lose money. If you do it in the opposite direction and make a heavy position, you will suddenly explode the position and lose all the principal, and the stock will not have this risk. As long as the stock doesn't crash, you will always have it in your hand, and the foreign exchange will be gone at once.
