Trading is high risk game and new comers should avoid from trading. Trading can result loss and if new comers have only this investment he will not able to take profit.
Investing is no matter very slow as compared to trading but very profitable in long term .
in terms of risk, I think trading does have a much greater risk. however, in terms of profit, and acceleration of profit, trading is much better, because the trading period is determined by us, while investment depends on where it is invested. but, personally, so far, I've been investing more than trading. many people do both. however, I think that trading and investing together requires a large amount of capital.
