The fundamental difference in the stock market and the forex market

[jamiebrwn]

The fundamental difference in the stock market and the forex market is simple: information about stocks is abundant, but the number of stocks is much higher. The Forex market consists of only six major currencies to research, making life much easier for Forex traders. And much of this research and analysis can be done using forex robot software. An individual equity trader will likely have to analyze data on thousands of stocks in order to make successful trades. Much of the vital information in stocks is often privately held (revenue and profit info). Forex information, however, is easily accessible and the news that affects the currency market is available via public government information which is easily digested by a forex robot.

In Forex markets, a trader can use programs to automatically execute a forex trade on a forex trading signal. This makes forex trading almost instantaneous. A forex trader is more less likely to miss a trade because of the time it takes to execute a single tade. In stock markets on the other hand, a trader has to get this order to the trading floor, and from there, it could still take several minutes to be executed.

but still its better to avoid robots, forex market although relatively safe as compared to forex, but its very volatile and in this situation robots are hard to be trusted as they work on a fixed program.
