Do not let us trade with speculation without we can look at the fundamentals in detail, there are traders who are very successful with speculation but not as easy as we imagine because speculation without knowledge is the same as gambling.

investment is better in my opinion because speculation is more risky even though the profit potential is far greater than investments which usually only set small and realistic targets according to the amount of capital invested.

I chose investment when compared to speculation because if you want to do speculation we must have extensive experience in their field and speculation is closely related to our knowledge of macro fundamentals.

It is recommended not to trade with speculation because speculation has a high enough risk even though the profit is also very high and speculation in my opinion is only suitable for large capital traders.

if I prefer investment because speculation is more dangerous, speculation is usually done by large traders and also institutions, if retail traders will be very at risk of speculation in forex.

both are different strategies but have the same goal, edanya there are targets where the speculation target is very large and the investment target is more realistic.

if you have expertise in macro fundamentals and have large capital then you can choose speculation, but if you don't have both of these conditions, don't speculate, it would be better and safer to invest.

both of these things can be an option depending on the skills possessed because there is also a successful speculation in forex even though betting with large capital, if I have clearly preferred trading but more realistic trading rather than speculation.

I focus more on trading with realistic targets and it's the same as investing because if trading is done with large targets it is the same as speculation can even lead to gambling.

in forex between investment and speculation or trading in general is the same thing because it leads to traget profit. We have to be traders who can control psychology so we can trade well, not just speculation.

speculation is one of the biggest risk trading strategies so if we are still novice traders then you should avoid speculation in trading, we better trade realistically with a good and safe strategy and most importantly we prioritize risk minimization.

investment and speculation in my opinion is quite contrasting because each has a difference in terms of the percentage of profit and also the risk that is in it.

I consider investment more than speculation because I do not have the expertise about it and also speculation must be done with a large enough capital and even have to be able to move a little market movement.

speculation is more risky than trading even because trading still uses methods or strategies that make sense while speculation uses feelings that only depend on luck.

The longer the trading may be able to better understand the actual mechanism of forex, so that the element of speculation will diminish.
