I have many friends who are successful at stock but not with Forex. The problem is too much greed; they come from a leverage of 1:10 on stock to 1:500 on Forex and aim for too much.
So maybe you just need to learn to control yourself. I suggest if you are experienced with stock then go for weekly and monthly timeframe in Forex, also pair to carry trade with positive swap.
