For those who trade both crypto and stocks. Which market is more predictive and easier to trade?

There's no such thing as predictive market and easy trade all of the cryptocurrency are volatile and you can't really predict it, but I think the best suit for investments are the coins or markets which has a large volume of cryptos or stocks and if a certain coin has a large volume of coins the price of it will increase fast but will dump fast as well.

Stock is more predictable but not the easiest to trade as the procedure are too complicated although the profit can't be compared to that of cryptocurrency. In stock trading you can easily predict the movement of price based on the news be it good or bad but in cryptocurrency although you can do the same,  it isn't guaranteed just like the binance/bitfinex event yet bitcoin was still rasing. If such event was to occur in the stock market 99% of such cases would had resulted to a decline in price of the stock affected.

I guess you mean predictable,not predictive. ;D
No market is 100% predictable,because if it really was predictable,all the traders will make profit and nobody will lose,which is an impossible situation.
Crypto is way easier to trade and kinda predictable(but not really),because of the price patterns and how all altcoind follow the price of bitcoin.

Both crypto and stocks are hard to predict, i'm trading on both crypto and stocks. Crypto market is on bull market run, so i can say crypto is more easier to trade. Yesterday fall i already expected on crypto market.

For stocks, it's hard to predict too and hard to trade imho.

Stocks for sure. They still react to news the way you expect them to. If job data is released, interest rates released, or some stupid President of Some Dumb Country makes some random Tweet, yes, you can 100% expect the market to react. People make sure money buy the rumor sell the news, it works I guess. Not the same for crypto. Bitcoin moves as it pleases and when it pleases.

We have so much data for stock market so from it we can make the best possible analysis about the market will be but cryptos is certainly new and its decentralized so its not predictable but its very easy to trade and to make profits compared to stocks.

I think stock can easily be predicted than cryptocurrency. Stock are identifiable and traced to companies who own them and you can understand the happenings in the company whether directly from the employees or through the news and people easily react to it which changes the market price but cryptocurrency isn't that easy, so volatile.

These markets are too different. Most people are buying stocks in order to get sole long term profit with lower risks while day traders are trying to speculate on small price fluctuations. I don't say that is is not possible with stocks but it is just not that popular.
So I suggest you to compare crypto trading with forex. And there forex is more stable and predictable. This is pretty obvious: markets with higher market cap are more stable and resistant to influence from the side of some private traders and institutions. And here is an example: If some whale would sell all his coins then he will immediately  drop the entire market while if some invest bank sell all his USD during the uptrend he will just lose huge money without any influence to the market.

They don't even compare. Stocks of course. Crypto is so unpredictible, beyond what is normal. Just look at the latest bitcoin drop in price. Totally out of the blue, some guy or a group of people decided to dump a huge amount of coins. Even forex is much easier to trade than crypto, althoug in forex you will also see such sudden drops or movement of price.  Many of the indicators you would see in crypto trading were invented for stocks trading and they work much better there. You can't really compare them actually.

The stock market is predictive and crypto is too volatile. Crypto market is an analytic market but sometimes it behaves don't match with analysis even we saw in Dec 2017. However, I love to trade crypto than the stock market though is too risky. And I know the word "No Risk, No Gain".

It depends on yourself because we cannot give one suggestion if we don't know how good the market is.
For crypto, I know binance, poloniex, and bittrex is a good exchange, but I don't know about stocks because I don't trade stocks and I think you need to find by yourself.
There is no right prediction in any market because no one will know where the market will moves.
Try to register on one exchange I mention, try the exchange to trade in small amount, then you need to feels how will your feeling when you trade on that site then you can choose the right exchange for yourself.

I don't think anyone can have a definite price movement because considering a few months ago the price of cryptocurrency fell very sharply and the price was very cheap when many traders were depressed and left the cryptocurrency market. so just follow the flow because there is nothing to predict.

There are tons of similarities between the crypto and stock markets, but they behave very very differently.

My personal preference is crypto, but if I see a stock trade that I'd be stupid not to take, I'll jump in no problem.

Stock market is control buy millionaires and crypto also same kind of trading. But crypto trading is little easy to predict the pump and dump and stock market investment is not a continuous buy and sell so we will earn or loose at anytime. I think current situation crypto investment is more comfortable to earn good profit.

Stocks are more predictable than crypto currencies but trading crypto is much easier and possible for everyone who have little knowledge about internet but for stock trading you need to be highly skillful on analysis.

Both can crash at any time, but since crypto markets has more risk then we could say they are more unpredictive than stocks. But at the same time with criptomarkets you have better chance to make big profit with small invest.

I think crypto. Even i am not experienced traders, i think there are a lot of people that struggle when they want to trade stock. Personally if must pick, i will pick on crypto trading because it is simple.

You can't really compare both market because each has their factors and pace, and none of them are really that predictable and if you really depend on them to make most of your trades than it will bite in the ass and you will lose more than you will win, that said though stocks market are heavily depends on companies and what they really do, so at least you can make an educated guess and make decisions based on what that company announce, but in crypto you can't do that because everything is community driven.

stock traders do have a lower risk than trading crypto currencies, but to my knowledge cryptocurrency trading is easier to understand than stock trading.
even sometimes the benefits will be better even though crypto currency trading has a greater risk than stock trading.

Binary Option with some short interval around 2-5 mins, that's was really easy to find the pattern using an indicator signal. The problem i really not cant handle the psychology from binary options trading, that's why I not investing/trading at binary option again.

I can tell that crypto and stock market are very different than each other. I can't argue one of them is easier, one need experience for both markets but crypto is clearly more risky for those who don't know what they are doing.

If you're new to both, you'll find more familiar terms and names in stock trading so it's easier to study for a newbie compared to crypto, where the coins would sound like jargons and you'd have to make extra effort to get yourself aware of them. And though there's no sure esy of making predictions at all, stocks offer less volatility than crypto but crypto for me can bring bigger profit. As they say, the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward.

Binary option is not easy to make money from. It is harder than traditional trading and I did not see much difference between binary options and gambling!
For op questions and what is better between crypto coins trading and stock, I think both has an inherent advantage and that is volatility, just that stock market is more stable than coins trading

You should not look for an easier and predictable trading platform. You should for some pieces of advice from the experienced trader how to really become a good one. Lets put it this way, if you will ever see an easy platform where you are able to have profits easier, the majority of traders will also have profits like you. The platform will not be able to sustain its losses if they will play fair. So it will become a scam.

If you would also like to check for a nice trading platform, try to check e-Toro. I guess this is the option you can have for your trading plans.

there is no easier from one of them.if we want to earn profits from this market we need more experience in our trades.by learning and practice we will find the chemistry to find best entry when decided buying cryptocurrency.

I think when it comes to stocks issued by a company, you invest only when the company has zero liquidity risk and low premium risk. Only then you go for the stocks and in case the company issuing the stocks is a government company or has a high market cap, you do not face huge risk but when it comes to cryptocurrency, the market is very volatile and there is just no one to cover your loss when the value goes down but again, lets be optimists and think about the rise in the value rather than the fall.

I would say stocks, I mean, I can just call my stock brokers and say "sell my stocks at this price" go back to sleep and wait for the funds to come in the next days or so. Unlike crypto wherein the price is really volatile, hard to predict because there are so many traders and it's a global phenomena right now that everyone wanted to join the bandwagon. The price fluctuates like every minute that you don't know if you are going to sell today or wait a bit longer.

@ryzaadit - Binary option is much riskier, it's just like gambling, so I don't want to leverage my money on that.

No type of trading can be compared to crypto trading. Crypto is bizarre because most of the traded coins/tokens only exist as ideas and no physical products tied to them. This is unlike stocks where the companies do exist. Again, events that control the crypto market are not properly defined as it can quickly crash as it can also quickly soar. The industry is very unstable and volatile as it were right now.

I've been into crypto trading for almost two years now. And I must say, I can predict it most of the times. Not easy but I can still ride and predict the market. I am planning to enter stocks trading since my friend already started it. He showed me how it works and it is surprising that he uses the same indicators as crypto trading. The  only thing I can say is that, according to him, stocks is more unpredictable. There is more unexpected sideways. Well, that is just according to him since I wasn't really experienced it, yet.

Can you give us tips about what you are using to predict market?

A lot of people's are going to say stocks 🤔 well, maybe that's true, stocks are a bit easy to predict, but you can never be hundred accurate in predicting what it is going to be. As for Bitcoin (cryptocurrency) that is a no go area when it comes to predicting what it is going to be. No one can predict the cryptocurrency market.

I not seen anyone that was able to predict what the price of a cryptocurrency is going to be and when it is going to be as well. If you have seen one then their guess (prediction) happened to be right by luck. But follow up with that person and you will see that their other market predictions will not be accurate anymore. That is how it is, none of them is easy to predict.

Firstly, there is no market that is so easy to trade, both crypto trading and stock trading still requires a very strong strategy for you to be able to make best out, but stock market is quite a lot easier to trade.

Reason being that stock market is a fully regulated one, and it is one you cannot just use large amount to manipulate, which is against the law, so it is easier for you to know which direction stock will go using Fundamental analysis, but if we talk about the most profitable trading, it will definitely be crypto, because it has more volatility than stock market.

One single uptrend in crypto could make you a billionaire over night while that of stock trade can only earn you little interest on your trade at once.

Both are a lot different from the other. But I will recommend that you stay with crypto trading. Here is the reason why I don't like stock trading - it takes a long time to make profit from them, where as in crypto trading it doesn't really take a long time. The only thing with crypto is the volatility, which offers equal chances of losing and winning.

Volatility is the good thing about crypto and is also the bad thing as well (when you're not lucky). And unlike stock trading you can start crypto with as low $100 and expect huge profits by taking advantage of the markets volatile nature. I have seen people that are able to start with low amount and now they have made a lot of money from crypto, which is not like stock trading cause there are lot it be done and the profit doesn't come quick.

From his full speech, you should be able to pick out that he doesn’t have any more strategy other than Technical analysis and maybe sometimes mixes it with fundamental analysis, because it is only technical analysis that uses charts and indicator, and using indicator is not something he cannot fully explain here, you have to fully go for the tutorial online or offline.

The highest he can do is to give signal at every point he wishes to trade too and signal is not also 100% accurate because no matter how good a trader is, he is still bound to make mistake, which will make his signal not to be accurate. The best is to learn your own strategy.

this is crypto trading so that nothing like that, up and down prices are always uncertain because they are always based on demand and supply. But if you are looking for an exchange that has a good trading volume so that it can help you to trade by looking up and down prices quickly then I can tell you some top class exchanges.

Op is asking a wrong question in my opinion, every market is hard to predict, both are risky, both unpredictable sometimes, with many surprises. What is the question what you need for start, with how much money you plan to start. In crypto you can start with 10 dollars and make some money along the way, if you place some good position in the right time. In forex you need much more money, much lower fluctuations and without huge spikes without future potential forex is left behind crypto trading.

Stocks are more predictable because of the large volume.  Whereas in crypto only a few have a large volume of transactions.  In crypto price movements can be said to be very slow and will move far only in certain times.  Unless you trade on coins that have good reputation such as BTC & ETH.

Stock are easy to trade and predictive than crypto because stock have company can handle price on the market, CEO easy to sell they stock and buy back at low, not even crypto as public have easy to sell and buy anytime they want.

Only experienced traders or the professional one can really point out the best answer to your question. But I am not really sure if they are ready to reveal this kind of information as it is very vital.

If they are going to reveal their predictions, I am sure that they are already aware about the consequences if their predictions will go wrong. But I saw someone that keeps on giving their updated predictions in stocks but I haven't seen someone who do it in crypto as crypto is very difficult to predict compare to stocks.

Data analysis is one of the important factor to predict the future of market but crypto is literally new and most of the time it went on the other side of how we predicted it so it is the most volatile compared to stocks so predictions here won't work so no professional predictors were here just like you mention for stocks.But there are some people who will look to manipulate the market by using their fame.

But we all are wondering how traders are making huge money with the crypto trading. There must be some key steps which one follows will result in a successful trade. The unstable prices make it happen and make us able to make maximum profit that does not exist in any other source. Once we start doing its research then we would be able to make money and even the most possible profit is achievable here.

The major difference is the amount of historical data we have in stock market compared to the virtual market, all the predictions we make in the virtual market is with the small amount of historical data because it is a new market and hence not everything that can be calculated  might not be true and we will get errors, in stock market those errors will be fewer but the fact remains that no market is predictable, we can have our intuition about the situation with the data we have, if stock exchange or any exchange was so predictable with the amount of data we had no one would lose money when the market crashed in 2007 :P.

I think he is right, I know we are in crypto space and we are cryptocurrency lovers, but sentiment aside, stock trading is a whole lot more predictable than crypto trading.

You know that stock trading is being controlled by government, and there is no chance for a whale to do anything strange with a large fund, if an investor drop money in stock market more than he should, he will be arrested, so there is no fear of someone crashing the price at any time with large fund, which makes it easy to react to market fundamentals exactly the way it is being presented in the news.

That is right and the key step to successful trading is having the right strategy, I dint think there is any other thing successful traders are doing other than developing a trading strategy after having an in depth knowledge of trading and its environment.

One key reason why so many traders lose their trade is either they use instinct or assumption to make their trade which is why we see that they don’t really make it in trading, and another thing is greed, most trader are greedy to take profit even after they have gotten the entry point right, but because of their greed to always take higher with little, they end up going back to zero.

I think this is base on everyone's choice of trade one can be good at stock and the other at Crypto now if the one at stock gets to see the one of Crypto he or she will find it difficult to predict why because he or she is never used to Crypto is a vice versa kind of market none can be too good at both side of market.

Easier to trade is definitely stocks, I do not have to do anything that requires trust because I do believe in my bank and my bank has an app and in that app I can just click and buy stocks and sell stocks and that is enough, in exchanges I am always afraid of getting hacked and always afraid of them scamming me and always afraid of pumps and dumps.

However more productive is by far bitcoin because even though there is also a chance of losing more money, there is a chance of making a lot more as well, I can lose a thousand dollars on bitcoin tomorrow but I can make 10 thousand either. That is why the ease of use and trust aspects goes to stock markets since its quite easy for me to do that but productivity goes to crypto since its much more profitable.

I think it is depends on the trader experience. Some one feel free to trade in crypto and someone in stock market. Both are unpredictable with 100% accuracy IMO and Personally I think crypto trading is more easier than stock market.

I can say crypto, because I have proven myself that I can be profitable here.
Stocks is less volatile compared to crypto and that does not favor the small investors, and here were are dealing with a big potential technology so even if you just hold for long term, you can expect that you will earn a decent profit in the future.

What makes the market here is the manipulation, it's hard to predict the price if you only based on TA using the price history or graph, but being aware of the speculation and the news in the space, that would give you a better picture of what may happen in the future.

Stock trading
- High barrier to entry
- Identification typically required
- Tend to be less volatile than crypto so far

Crypto trading
- Low barrier to entry
- Can be done anonymously
- Highly volatile
- 24/7

More and more crypto exchangers is asking for an ID these days :(

Then comply for it.

We can't avoid that. We need to accept that while crypto is growing, centralization might need. To minimize the risk of being sh*t, only comply with the reputable exchanges.

You can still remain anonymous though by using a decentralized exchange.

I don't have now stocks but Im planning to invesy in stocks this year, I only have crypto and most here in the forum also have only cryptocurrency. But they have some people who have crypto and also a stock. But if you asking what is better of course what people choosing here of course it's crypto because you are here in crypto world and that is very obviously. Trading is more easy to stocks.
