Anyone may have heard of FOREX. It's considered as the largest financial market in the world, handling about $1.5 trillion every day. The combined American stock exchanges handle only about $100 billion. Every day, people can make money by trading forex (buying and selling foreign currencies). Let us see the advantages of the Forex Market compared to the Stock Market.

1. Liquidity: As told above, there is always a chance to buy and to sell currencies. The forex market is handling about 1.5 Trillion dollars every day and this is a huge number. What is meant by liquidity is that there are always buyers and sellers. When you want to buy, there will be a seller and when you want to sell there is always a buyer. Therefore the forex is seen as an active market and this is a first advantage.

2. No Insider trading: as you know, there are always fluctuations in the currency prices. This fluctuation is caused by the economy of the corresponding countries. When a new economic indictor is released, it will be published in the news within seconds. This gives all the forex traders a fair chance to trade together using that news. On the other hand, in stock markets, some people may collect the news before others and start to buy or sell exploiting the news released about the corporations which is not fair. This gives the forex market a second advantage over the stock market

3. Accessibility: The Stock market is open few hours a day giving the traders a less chance to trade. On the other hand forex is open all the day and five day a week. This gives the forex traders an advantage to the stock traders because they have more time to trade.

4. Predictability: both the forex market and the stocks have similar tools to predict the trends. Although many concepts are similar, we find that the trends in the forex market are more predictable over that in the stock market. This gives a huge advantage for the forex market because predictability is the key to make money with trading.

5. Smaller Investment: Forex doesn’t require to money to open an account. Only tens of dollars can open an account for you. Many brokers are lowering the minimum value to open an account to attract more customers. This is in contrast to stocks where higher values are needed to be able to open an account. Also the leverage value in forex is much larger where it can reach 1:500 in contrast to 1:2 in stocks.

From the above, we see that forex is a good ways to earn money with. However it requires a good study before trading. After well studied and after you know the techniqual methods used to know the trends, it must be practiced for several months.
Finally, you can open account with low deposit value.
