The fundamental difference in the stock market and the forex market is simple: information about stocks is abundant, but the number of stocks is much higher. The Forex market consists of only six major currencies to research, making life much easier for Forex traders. And much of this research and analysis can be done using forex robot software. An individual equity trader will likely have to analyze data on thousands of stocks in order to make successful trades. Much of the vital information in stocks is often privately held (revenue and profit info). Forex information, however, is easily accessible and the news that affects the currency market is available via public government information which is easily digested by a forex robot.
