It depends on individual preference! But in my opinion, it seems that poker is far more easy to make money with. While both demands skills, strategies and luck to succeed, trading is more businesslike and highly sophisticated. You can play poker as a novice and still pull through. In forex trading, you read endless charts and try to beat companies who have spent thousands of dollars to build automations that hardly fails
In your opinion, which is harder?
 
I believe forex is more difficult. This is because the competitors in poker inbolves human beings you can study, but you are up against the algorithms in forex that could be out of your control.
 
I think poker and trading forex are hard in different ways. Both need focus and skill,but I’d say trading can be more stressful because money moves so fast.
 
Poker is a game of luck and skills. You need to be lucky and you need to have skills. Luck also plays a part in Forex, however, forex trading is mainly about understanding the market and opening trades at the right time
 
I personally think that Forex trading is harder. I have been in poker and Forex trading and poker. Having to learn how to study charts and trends to trade isn't easier than learning hands in poker. As a beginner in poker, I had won ten times more than I ever won with forex trading.
 
One with a better skill and determination can succeed in poker. This is different from Forex Trading with some heartbreaking stories from those who have lost a lot trading forex.
 
Playing poker is definitely more easier than Forex trading. You can get into playing poker after watching a few tutorial for beginners on playing poker but you can never get into Forex trading with even one month learning.

I even think that trading forex goes beyond what we see online as there is some key information that separates winners from losers which makes trading forex a more difficult venture.

100% agreed and correct. There's no way the short videos being posted online in form of ads and promotion of a broker would be considered enough to show what Forex trading is all about. The knowledge behind it is too much.

Sometimes, I smile while looking at those forex ads on social media platforms. It makes me think that if it is that easy, many would have ended up becoming millionaires through that means. Sadly, the reverse is the case.
 
I would say that it depends on the individual as to whether playing poker is harder than trading forex or vice versa.

I personally would say that trading forex is harder for me than playing poker because I have played poker in the past, but have very little knowledge of trading forex.

There is also the possibility of a lot of the winnings not even being real as I've heard some of them make money from selling courses to newbie who would like to join.

Yeah, that's very correct. They can actually edit all of such videos just to put the right persuasive information across different social media platforms just to lure people who are interested to join.
 
It's easy to learn playing poker than learning Forex trading. I've tried both and know it's very tough and risky with Forex trading. There are so many variables which can interfere with Forex trading and throw every analysis off balance which makes a trader lose a trade.

Unfortunately, I had a fair share of losing in Forex. Since it happened, I have been trying my best not to waste money trading it at all no matter how interesting it looks on the surface.

Even those who consider themselves professionals and elite in forex trading still lose trade on daily basis. It is the reason why I still consider Forex trading as one of the most difficult projects to take on.

You are right. Sometimes, I start to wonder how those who have won lots of money while trading got to do it. Maybe they are not truly honest with what they did to win.
 
I've seen those who claim that trading forex is as easy as ABC. I don't know how they get to do it, but the few times that I have wanted to trade forex, I lost all my funds and since then, I have always focused on playing poker which I understand better.
 
Poker and forex trading are entirely different things, I don't see how could we draw comparison on two things that are bipolar apart. Poker is skill and luck. Forex is market knowledge and correct timing
 
Probability of making money can be different but forex is easier than Poker.
