Another reason is the low capital you can start with. I opened an account with only 500USD. I am up 21usd. Not a lot but though componding and using this as a savings account this will grow quickly.

I also like the liquidity. almost instananeous. I know I can put my money back into my bank account within three days. Try doing that with real estate.


Also the number of pairs is low. in a mini account you only have about 20 options to choose from. I don't have to sift through thousands of companies to find a gem like the stock market. Just have to keep track of global events which I enjoy doing anyway.
