Forex Trading Popularity
Here are some reasons.
forex trading is so popular that stock traders in droves are coming into the currency markets.
There is good reason for this too you see there are fewer "stocks" to watch in the FX market in fact there are 6 major pairs to trade, follow, and or analyze, not thousands like the stock market.
When trading the 6 major pairs it differs than that of trading stock and needs a different trading method.
Price can have abrupt swings and to take full advantage of these swings you need to know how to trade and have a good method and with the right training it's like having a forex profit accelerator at the same time minimizing the risk.
Trading is often analyzed on repeatable patterns whether it is in stocks or foreign exchange markets.
This is what gives traders enormous profits if they use excellent trading methods, discipline and of course use proper money management, these are all key components to successful trading.
We have heard a lot about leverage lately and the unraveling of it but it is still used and if used effectively you can make a small account go a long ways.
This is another reason the forex markets are so popular for example you can take a small account and leverage it at 100:1 - or all the way up to 400:1, however with 50:1 or 100:1 is sufficient leverage to trade with and make big gains.
Stock traders can make good forex traders as long as you bring sound money management principles, self discipline and some chart analysis knowledge.
The forex markets are attracting droves of traders because of reduced margin, high profits potential and the fewer "stocks" to watch just 6 major pairs with nice trending chart patterns.
Enjoy trading these markets.
