I've done some reading on Forex recently, and it has some nice advantages over stocks (24 hour market, no commissions, greater leverage, not as news-driven as equities, etc.). Greater leverage is a nice advantage, since it means potentially bigger profits, but then again, bigger losses as well.

I've also read that the trends on Forex charts are easier to spot, and the trends tend to run longer than stock trends. Easy trends along with minimal commissions and greater leverage seems ideal for daytrading.
