Beginners out there who may have the intention of having a livelihood out of financial market trading and could not choose between forex trading and futures trading, it is best that you read on.

The fact is, foreign exchange has a lot of greater advantages over futures trading. In terms of liquidity, there is no doubt that forex market is the biggest in the world, and it deals about 2 trillion dollars daily. On the other hand, the futures market trades with only about $30 billion daily. There really is no comparison in terms of liquidity.

Another benefit from trading forex instead of futures is that the former is commission free. This is due to the fact that you will be directly dealing with the market through online exchange. There is no need for brokers and brokerages’ commissions as well as ticket fees. The cost will only come during the initiating of the trade. Brokers are needed but they get paid through their services via the bid-ask spread, not commissions.

The certainty of price is also a big factor why many preferred forex over future of equity market. Not only would you get price certainty most of the time but you will also be able to effect rapid execution of trades. This does not happen in futures or equities trading despite the modernity of the whole process.

Lastly, the limited risk provided by forex for beginners especially, is a very good motivation for choosing it over other markets. The online capabilities of forex trading allows for lesser risks since it can quickly generate what is called a “margin call” wherein the required margin amount in the forex account exceeds the actual trading capital. Should this happens, all positions will be closed and loss will be immediately stopped. With futures trading, the position can be liquidated as loss and you will have to pay any deficit in your account.
