You may get some responses recommending this market to trade, or that one to avoid. I think, however, that you need to evaluate your situation first. What market(s) can you actually trade and in what timeframe(s)? How much time can you (and do you intend to) devote to the trading and during what time(s) of day?
If you can answer that, you can narrow the list of realistic trading options down.
For example, you would have a hard time daytrading US stocks if you can't be active during a sizable portion of the US trading day, but maybe your schedule works out so you could daytrade forex or one of the futures markets.

I agree 1000%. One could say the same about any illiquid market, in fact.
I would believe that UK stocks are eaiser than forex. Pitch yourself against the less well-informed investors/traders like middle aged englishmen from all career backgrounds like policeman,doctors,accountants,managers of most small uk companies. These types think forex is a brand of condom and will only play the UK stock market. It just tilts the odds in your favor a little.

Not all markets are equally efficient. Unfortunately, those which tend not to be as efficient also tend not to be overly liquid and should not be considered for trading by newbies.

Oil can be extremely volatile. Just look at some of the recent price moves. Gold tends to be a bit smoother. Again, though, you have to consider timeframe.
