Forex not gives you surety of earning here you have to find your share of profit with your trading skill. I find forex useful because I can trade any time . This market had risk reward opportunities . You should be aware of disadvantages too when join forex . I know this reality so not worried about loss.

The biggest advantage of forex trading is also its biggest disadvantage - you are responsible for your own trading, your own decisions, your own profits and losses.

There are many advantages of forex trading tat attract people to join it . As profit making , 24 hours availability of market and freedom of work. And major disadvantage is that this business is much risky one cannot avoid this risk.

What to say about Forex…!! Earning money at home without any boss and time restriction is the best thing you will find in Forex. There is no target to achieve, earn what you want or leave.

The downside is that if you trade fulltime from home in that manner you are fully responsible for your income. That can put a lot of pressure on one’s psyche.

Forex trading has resulted in huge gains as well as losses. Losses have been incurred due to various reasons including using higher leverage ratios in risky trades, which led to the magnifying of losses a lot more than the amount actually invested. Another important factor to consider while trading forex is choosing the right currency pairs. Choosing highly volatile currency pairs may be more risky thereby resulting in losses.

Exactly mate; a number of traders try to learn so quickly; as a result you know here; almost 90% retail traders are struggling.

I never traded forex and I never will. In my opinion the forex market is the worst place for a trader. Yes, a lot of liquidity attracts people, but in the forex market liquidity can disappear quickly. There a tons of other markets out there with a bunch of liquidity. I mostly trade indices and commodities. The trading world changed a lot over the last two decades. I enter “trading” into google or youtube and I just receive forex, forex and forex again.

T his might be your personal opinion otherwise forex is very popular business . It is right here risk is high than any other routine business but when you do forex with proper learning this risk can be minimized. Then here are many profitable traders who are working full or part time with forex market.

Exactly my thoughts financial freedom work from home is a huge selling point
However incorrect trading practices and poor trading psychology could ultimately lead to financial ruin

Forex trading means trading in foreign exchange.
It has the following advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages:

  1. Access to global markets
  2. Great liquidity.
  3. Wide range of currency pairs.
  4. Ability to go long or short.
  5. Low transaction costs
  6. 24*7 trading
  7. Use of leverage.

Disadvantages:

  1. Regulation of the forex market is difficult ,so it poses counter party risks.
  2. Difficult in managing forex trading operations.
  3. Markets are not open for trading on weekends.
  4. High leverage means high risk
  5. Highly volatile markets.
  6. The structure and stability of various countries is also a threat.

Each coin has two sides. Similarly Forex trading has many advantages but some demerits too. Forex rates are influenced by many factors mainly economic or global politics that can be difficult to analyze information and draw conclusions. It is available on high leverage but it can easily turn into a loss making nightmare unless one has a strong knowledge of leverage and of course control over emotions.

For me:
Advantage- open 24/5 and financial independence
Disadvantage- high volatility.

For me, Advantage- Wide options and profitable gains
Disadvantage- Risk factor

Pro – highly liquid and offers good opportunity to make money
Con- uncertain and risky

Advantages would be the abiliy to earn money with suitable working time from anywhere on the world I would say without doing much job once all working and disadvantages would be something like for example I am not even sure what - except main nonguarantee of earning funds.
