Foreign Exchange Market size and liquidity

When it comes to market size, the forex market is significantly larger than the stock market. The daily trading volume for forex is over $5 trillion, while the stock market has a daily trading volume of around $200 billion. This means that the forex market is more liquid, which allows for quicker and easier transactions.

In addition, the forex market is open 24 hours a day, five days a week. This means that traders have more opportunities to enter and exit trades at any time of day or night. The stock market, on the other hand, has specific trading hours and is closed on weekends and holidays.

The higher liquidity in the forex market also means that traders can take advantage of tighter spreads. This can result in lower trading costs compared to stocks.
