Default Why Would You Trade ETF's?

Hey equities traders.

Why would you trade ETF's?

They have bundled fees.

They don't reflect the true value of the underlying in most cases.

Futures have the IRS Section 60/40 rule and you pay less taxes.

Liquidity is better and spreads tighter in many cases.

Leverage is better.

You can trade them 24 hours when you are stuck in an equity product if you are stuck overnight..

Why?

Hi Godoftrading,

I think you will find that most folks here are not equities traders. We are forex traders, so in many ways I think you are preaching to the choir.

Forex has many advantages over stocks trading, and we truly do love it here

FOREX RISK DISCLAIMER: Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
