options are fairly easy but need a bit of ground work. can best combine with shares so you can sell covered calls & buy puts...

another questions pop up :
we always see ppl invest in stock , eg: Warren Buffet .
Ppl use this strategy to hold as long as possible to generate wealth .
Basically , buy blue chip and collect dividen forever .
when die , passed the blue chip to next kin .
wealth being built this way .

However , we dun hear such thing in FX , or options , etc .
how come ?

In theory , FX should amplify the wealth effect like the stock do .
in reality , i cant find any.

i can think off , carry trade in FX to collect swap daily . But this strategy is dead after 2008.
is it possible to build wealth in FX similar like KLSE/stock/blue chip/divien stock?

stocks -- collect dividen , this one straight forward .
Bonds - collect bond interest till maturity , got risk of default . Worse, hold till maturity and collect back principal.
options -- Can explain more how to collect interest/swap ?  The swap is juicy ?

*above 3 market , need huge capital , right ?

i thouhg u trade FX ?

u trade options + oil ?
as Emily suggested ,
most easy = stock ....
buy and hold .
collect dividen till death .

Are you comparing trading and investing?

yes sir.. but trading is hard

why doesn't anyone here choose stocks instead

because people are poor.
stocks are expensive.
if you want to trade for a living, with no leverage, you might take 10 years to stabalize. Nobody wants to wait that long.

but assume if you are trading 1% risk per trade.. it shouldnt matter if you trading stocks or fx right?

aapl biggest single day candle past 3 months 4.2% (open->close)... to make that $1000 you need $24k... same 3 month period eurusd biggest candle 95 pips... so 500:1...$240...

you can of course borrow money from the broker and pay interest but still need collateral

for stocks it's of course recommended to do swing.. and there's CFD products as well for stocks
