vagabond79 asked:


I trade only stocks right now but I’ve heard people swear by trading futures or forex. I’ve never tried either. Is one more volatile and therefore easier to make more money?

   Forex is trading on the contract of the future of the currency, they have different month on different currency, you could loss your all your initial investment money if you don’t know what you are doing. Even a very experience or professional trader will loss all the money.
