Forex versus Stocks- Please advise

[Bernfriedd]

When I started trading I immediately started with Forex have never been in touch with stocks at all.
Recently I was told about a very successful lady who became stock daytrader.
She had to sell a little business is 63 years old a reliable source I heard she makes good money as a stocks daytrader. (I hope to speak to her in person soon to learn more but in the meantime I would love to learn more)
This reading a little essay about Jesse Livermore the famous trader wetted my interest.
I have no inclination to change my trading style suddenly moving Forex to stocks. but I am just curious always open to learn.
Maybe there are some traders out ther who have traded stocks before are willing to share what it is all about compared to Forex.

I have - naive- questions like: How does a stock trader pick a certain stock the myriads of stocks there are out there. With Forex at least with the usual brokers your choice is already limited to 20 but with stocks? I would not know how to pick stocks the almost unlimited choice there is.

Is there someone out there who changed daytrading stocks to daytrading Forex would like to share a few lines?

Day trading stocks typically is not worth the cost/risk. I tend to hold stocks for longer periods for me that works but it depends a great deal on your capital experience.
