Kardec Trader explains why most traders won't get rich on Forex: the market moves only 1-2% daily because it's too efficient and controlled by global banks. Stocks and futures swing 20% or more on news, but Forex rarely does, making it harder to profit from big moves.

1–2% every day
~7%
Why do I stick with stocks and futures and not Forex? Forex is going to move like maybe 1 to 2% every day. When you look at futures on a good day, if there is like a tariff news going on or something, 3 to 4% during tariff. I transferred a lot of money from USD to AUD because chart was like this, it dropped like 7%. If there's like a war going on or something, then we are going to see a lot of volatility here in the forex market. But if you look at futures, 20% drop, 20% push towards the upside. If you look at stocks, stocks are more susceptible to news and that's why they're inefficient. Like the efficient market, it won't move a lot. These are the efficient market. Like Forex is the most efficient market because it's controlled by the banks all over the world, because banks are making or losing money on the foreign exchange because of the forex market. So it's going to be very efficient. It's only going to move 1 or 2%. Imagine like forex moving 15% in one day. The banks are going to go bankrupt, the economy is going to be unstable. If Tesla moves like 20, 30%, that doesn't affect the overall global economy.
