Shares vs Forex vs Commod vs Indices etc

[fancyfish]

Ok been reading a lot of the threads and would welcome views on what people trade and why.

Have done a little trading whilst at work but more long term positions and now thinking of day trading a little. I would rather start of by picking one area eg Forex or UK Shares and focus on one or two pairs or on the big cap stocks respectively. Trading shares appeals in some ways as they are closer to what i know and just feel a little more tangible but dont really know the merits of trading the other areas.

Cheers

If you're experienced and comfortable with shares trading, then I'd suggest your shift to day trading stays in that market - if you've got the capital to make it worthwhile. Good day trading in stocks requires a bit more cash because of transaction costs and such than does forex.
