Forex interest over time trend, after 2008 crisis, is a downtrend, if we check it using Google Trends (below).

Not enough marketing and not in the right way.

 
I believe it is not easy to compare the stock market to forex, i mainly mean for the type of execution and who  controls it (also leverage but is another big issue).

This type of contract created for deals between companies from different countries many yeras ago isn't good for retail customers. It is a personal opinion and I am not really sure about it so please share your comments.
