Different Forex And stock online trading

Equation

So also in the stocks, in forex trading, the main goal is to benefit from the difference in price movements. However there are several things that distinguish the two. Many people assume that forex is more 'sexy'. Let's look at the comparison.

Comparison

Capitalization
There is nothing greater than the forex market, in any market and any kind. Forex remains the biggest reply. So it can be said the forex market is very liquid. For comparison, if we look at the JSE stock market trading transaction is in the range 4-7 Trillion / day. Being the world forex market is 3.5 trillion dollars (Remember in dollars), which means 1000 x fold greater. You can try to calculate its own how many zeros :)

The 24 hour market and non stop.
Forex market is a 24-hour market indefinitely. Broker open from Sunday at 14:00 ET to Friday at 16:00 ET with customer service available 24 / 7. With the ability to serve the US market trading, Asian, and European markets, you can customize your own trading schedule. Compare this with the example of a local stock exchange (JSX), open only during weekdays (Monday s / d Friday) at 09.30 s / d 16:00. For those of you who work formal (office) This surely will clash with your schedule.

Commission-free
Most forex brokers do not charge an additional fee (commission or transaction fee). Brokers have taken the services of the spread between the selling / buying. As for the shares (JSX) you have to pay a fee of 0.15% The s / d 0.3% of the selling / buying.

Transaction speed / Order
You do not need to queue as soon as possible to carry out a transaction / order. Differences with the stock where you have to wait in line so that you can order at realisasika. In forex unnecessary, extremely large market which allows the number of buyers and sellers are not limited.
However keep in mind that the broker can serve your order as soon as possible with normal market entry, a condition where extreme price movements (volatile), the broker may delay your order in a moment.

Potential advantages of two Directions
Unlike the stock or equity, in forex you can benefit both directions, both when the market goes up, down, or where the price / market will move. In the short term sell existing shares (aimed at obtaining a profit when the stock price down), Yes indeed similar, but you can not do it on all stocks, only on certain stocks.

Complexity
There are approximately 4,500 stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Other 3500 listed on NASDAQ. Approximately stock which would you perdagankan / select? Have enough time to keep up on top of so many companies / stock?
In forex trading, there are dozens of currencies traded, but most markets are trading in four major pair (USD, EURO, GBP, YEN). Are not four pairs much easier to control than thousands of stocks?

Bandar free
You'll often with the term 'fried' in stocks, particularly in the local stock market / JSX. Well, why a stock can be fried? Because there is a person / group of people / financial institutions, the fund is relatively strong, continuous buying a stock. This makes as if a stock is rising, and many individual traders who are affected to join in buying the shares. At the moment the price has gone up in accordance with the wishes of the city, the city as soon as possible to sell these shares (city profit).
How to forex? Quite simply, kira2 how much capital needs to drive a market worth 3.5 trillion dollars, money point is that there is much anyone.
Chinese state may only be because, according to the information that has foreign exchange reserves of 4 Trilyuan Dollar. But what would he risk bet all the money only for the first day of trading. :)

Rumor
In stock a rumor or gossip .. kecil2 late, will be able to move the price. Moreover, if the rumors are sometimes packaged in the form of distinguished professionals, such as stocks and guides TA performed in TV, radio, etc .. Sometimes this can move the stock price. But in forex can be said to be impossible. Whether it can spread the rumor reached the ears of all the traders in the world? Your own answer :)

Skope
In forex trading, we are bound global / international financial markets worldwide. If we play the local share, then you should look at is the Indonesian economy. And the local stock price movements (JCI), can never influence into forex trading (such as the price pair EUR / USD). But global conditions and sentiment that occurred in the forex market, can sometimes affect up to local stocks or stock specific country. The reason is such today EUR / USD up (market / value US down), it can be seen that the US economy is going down. Usually if the US economy down US stocks fell also on, the next day can affect to the JSE.
