What's the difference between forex, stocks and crypto?

Forex

This is the currency market, like EUR/USD and GBP/JPY. It runs 24 hours on business days, has more predictable movements during peak volume hours and reacts strongly to economic news.

Stocks

You trade the price swings of companies like Petrobras, Vale, Apple or Tesla. It follows the corresponding exchange's hours and tends to move in reaction to earnings, sector news and reports.

Cryptocurrencies

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana trade 24 hours a day, every day, with the highest volatility of the three. That means more opportunities and also more risk of getting the direction wrong.

Where to start

• Want flexible hours: cryptocurrencies, with small trades.
• Prefer predictability: forex during peak liquidity hours.
• Already follow companies: stocks in a sector you know.
