Recently i've been forced to start trading futures instead of spot forex and instruments other than currencies. After a month or so i keep asking myself, why would anyone trade forex?
I can only come up with 2 reasons, one of which will probably never be a reason for any of us here
1. Small accounts / high leverage
2. Trading size so large that it's easier to get positions on (or off) on the spot currency market
I can think of possibly a third reason, the overshoots or 'noise' is larger in the spot market, but this is going to be pretty hard for people in category 1. to exploit. Anyone have any other reasons?
