I’ve been keeping an eye on my returns from both forex and stocks.
It’s tough to choose where to put my money for the next quarter.
Forex has offered solid short-term gains, but stocks appear more stable for longer holds.
Profitability comes down to your execution, not the market you pick.
I’ve seen traders lose money in both forex and stocks during strong trending years. Risk management and position sizing matter more than market selection.
Forex offers leverage advantages but requires tighter stops. Stocks give you dividend income but tie up more capital per position.
Track your win rate and average profit per trade in each market over 50+ trades. The numbers will show you where your edge actually exists.
Forex pays better if you can handle the speed.
Both markets can work well but it really depends on your trading style and how much time you want to spend watching the charts.
Forex gives you more opportunities since it runs 24 hours during weekdays and you can catch moves in different sessions.
Stocks might be easier to research and hold longer without worrying about overnight gaps from other markets affecting your positions.
I’d say pick the one where you understand the fundamentals better rather than chasing which one made more money this year.
Stocks have been easier this year with all the AI hype. Forex feels choppy lately.
