Stock markets are more predictable – they are often trending (eg. going up from October till May), while FX is more unpredictable and often sideways.
That is one additional reason why it's easier (and less risky) for a novice trader to trade stocks than FX.
Some say that FX is a huge sideways market in which only with leverage low enough and equity large enough a trader can trade profitably.
