一些交易商在外汇后第一个交易日的股票到达, 或者投资于债券. Others discover forex trading before they’ve experienced any other kind of investment. 在任何情况下, 外汇提供了充足的优势买卖股票和其他种类的投资.
最独立的商人通过阅读有关个人理财的基本书籍开始自己的职业生涯, plus various “how-to” books about specific trading niches and money-management techniques.
Some traders are fortunate enough to have professional mentoring or an exceptional “prop trading” opportunity. 但, most traders begin on a small scale and with appropriate testing and “paper trading” before committing real money.
对于那些第一次交易经验与股票, 外汇提供了大量的好处. Let’s have a look at the advantages of forex trading when compared with stock trading.
外汇比较对股票交易
Most financial authors say that “conservative” stock investments should yield an average of around 5% 每年, and “risky” investments in a diversified portfolio of stocks and mutual funds should yield somewhat higher. 当然, 传统的观点认为,股市上涨的平均约 10% 每年, 随着时间的推移.
买股票可以获取高额利润. 但, success in stock markets usually requires fundamental or “insider” knowledge about a specific company. 精明的投资者必须知道自己喜欢的股票足够好,发现便宜货, 同样地意识到,当自己喜爱的基金价值被低估.
独立投资者在股市很快发现,他们的时间通常是背后的大玩家,在市场一步. 大型投资基金由负责研究所有基本信息和技术信息的专业分析师提供有关特定公司的工作人员.
所以, it’s usually quite difficult for small traders to earn more than a few percentage points in annual gains with stocks.
更坏, 因为很少有股票基金的基金经理以往任何时候都不断获得超过 20% 在每年的收益, 大概很少有散户投资者可以做的更好. 但, 而不是接受充充电回报的股市, 投资者纷纷转向外汇交易,而不是.
外汇比股票交易更好
Forex trading offers plenty of advantages over stock trading –
卓越的流动性. 随着越来越多 $2 每一天的交易万亿, 外汇提供了最佳的流动性. 买和卖单都瞬间弥漫, which means less “slippage” and better profits.
“Paper trading” forex offers an accurate test. Many traders begin by first “paper trading” or mock trading a demo account. 然而, 在一个模拟账户买卖股票是真正的交易完全不同, 由于延迟订单执行时间,降低流动性实时股市. 所以, 初学者可以通过有缺陷的战略失败.
相反, 因为闪电般快速的执行和深度的流动性外汇市场, “paper trading” in a forex demo is generally an accurate simulation of real-world results.
24-7 贸易. 外汇交易平台是开放的 24 每天小时, 每周五和半日. 另一方面, 股市收盘白天交易时段后,往往流动性较差.
Forex can’t be controlled by large players. 银行和金融机构, 投资基金和高净值个人都可以影响股票价格的变动, 无论向上或向下. 不幸, 主要股市球员普遍舀起大部分的价格上涨过程中这种上涨, 而价格下跌过程中留下的独立贸易商库存大部分的损失.
相反, 在每天交易的外币数量庞大意味着没有人, 包括央行和重量级投资者, 可以操纵外汇市场.
杠杆作用. 虽然杠杆股票账户通常仅限于一个比 2:1, 外汇提供了高达 200:1 杠杆作用.
对卖空没有任何限制. Stock markets enforce an “uptick rule” so that short-sales must be entered when a stock’s price is moving upward. 这否定了最赚钱的机会. 另一方面, 外汇头寸可以输入任意长或短, 没有任何限制.
外汇超过股票和其他投资的心理优势
Because of the foreign exchange market’s global liquidity, 交易者可以通过使用专家顾问取得更大的回报 (她) 机械外汇交易系统, 同时避免股票交易.
The biggest advantage of trading forex instead of stocks is a psychological one – In a world dominated by large financial institutions, 外汇可以水平小商贩的竞争环境.
独立的股票交易商被迫一争高下的专业基金经理和机构投资者与基础研究的优势资源. 外汇交易是不同的,因为它可以让他或她自己的命运贸易商控制.
优越的杠杆使交易者获得更来自成功的外汇交易比股票交易机会. 与此形成鲜明对比的是典型的个位数年增长股票,交易账户, 外汇提供了潜力大得多的回报.
你交易的股票以及外汇? 如果是这样的, 你将如何对它们进行比较?

Forex has other advantage: Stock value performance has a psychological barrier… 例如. if a stock increases by, 说, 60% in short time everybody thinks it cannot go higher soon..and whole stock portfolios have this mental barrier.
维克托 · 说
1. 卓越的流动性 – there are many liquid enough stocks.
2. Paper trading – some brokers offer paper trading for stocks.
3. 24-7 贸易 – there are a lot of traders who will not profit from this advantage. 我, 例如, am perfectly fine with the working hours of North American stock exchanges.
4. Forex can’t be controlled by large players – I’m not sure about that. Even the forex market can be offset a little by big players and sometimes little is little enough. And for stocks you can always check for institutional ownership of a particular stock so this factor could be lowered to some degree.
5. 杠杆作用 – I don’t think that there’s a trader who fully uses 1:200 杠杆作用, 即使 1:100 杠杆作用. Also leverage in stocks can’t be compared directly with leverage in forex, because stocks’ prices move much more percentage wise than currencies’ prices and 1:2 leverage in stocks might very fine for a lot of traders. And you can always use options.
对卖空没有任何限制 – again you can use options or single stock futures.
My point is that these advantages are not very important. What is more important is which market you feel better suited to your personality.
You should have the knowledge of as much trading instruments as possible to be able to choose what you feel is most appropriate for your personality and for your style of trading. There are successful traders in all types of markets. It is even better if you can find trading opportunities in all markets.

Hi Victor,
谢谢你称重. You have some good points. I think the FX market is certainly manipulated by the banks around the fix, but I don’t believe they control the long term market. It’s ultimately down to whether the central banks desire to maintain solid currencies (most don’t).
还, options add in a pile of risks: delta, theta and such. Options used to be cheap leverage. Unless you’re selling them, they’re incredibly expensive at the moment.
