Low Trading Minimums

Stock traders are at a disadvantage over forex traders. If they cannot trade during regular "US" market hours (9:30AM EST to 4:00PM EST), they basically cannot trade properly. This is because outside of regular market hours trading diminishes significantly and trading liquidity is essential to successful trading. Even though stock traders have pre-market and after-hours access to the stock market via ECN's (electronic communications networks), the liquidity dries up quickly and it is difficult to take advantage of the formation or reversal of trends during this time. ECN access outside of regular market hours is also restricted to certain times (most ECN's offer only about 12 total hours per day of market access). Even though the goal of many retail stock ECN's is to offer 24-hour access to the US stock markets, it is difficult for them get enough trader's interested to build up the trading volume to an acceptable level. This is because traditionally the stock market has always "opened" and "closed" and it is difficult to change people's way of thinking. In addition, the US stock market is not a global market (unlike the forex market). The foreign exchange market is a 24-hour global market. Countries from all over the world participate in this market in one way or another. This makes it the most liquid 24-hour market around and the best one to trade, especially on a short-term basis.

Access to the foreign exchange market all day long makes it the purest market for day traders to trade.
