In the post-Soviet world, brokerage firms offered their services through Forex trading. Our citizens were already familiar with the foreign exchange market, but stock trading seemed far from reality. Currency pairs were among the first assets to be traded on trading platforms, followed by company stocks a few years later. As a result, I designed most strategies available today for Forex trading, and you have to work very hard to find a strategy for the stock market. As a result, many users have a question - how general are the descriptions of Forex trading methods, and can I use them as strategies for stock market trading? The systems used in exchange trading are very similar, but there are a few differences. To simplify the explanation, we will focus on strategies that apply to both markets.

Forex strategies can sometimes be adapted for stock market trading, but key differences must be considered. Forex markets operate 24/5 with high liquidity and leverage, while stock trading has set hours, lower leverage, and is influenced by company-specific factors.

Trend-following, breakout, and mean-reversion strategies may work in both markets, but adjustments are needed. Forex relies heavily on macroeconomic data, whereas stocks respond to earnings, news, and sector trends. Liquidity also varies; major forex pairs have tight spreads, while some stocks may suffer from low volume and slippage.

Risk management rules (stop-loss, position sizing) remain crucial, but stock traders must account for gaps (overnight or earnings-related). While some forex strategies can be applied, success depends on adapting them to stock market dynamics.
