If I have 5,000 USD and, with all skills and risks being equal, how much profit can I get from Forex vs. stock trading?

You will get much more. Here are the reasons:

1. Liquidity: Forex liquidity is the top market with $5 trillion transactions a day.
2. Fee: for stock, you pay much more fee in and out a position, but in Forex the spread is thin, to be specific like $5 for each $100,000 transaction.
3. Swap: overnight swap in Forex is much lower.
4. Leverage: some Forex providers go up to 1:2000.
   Cost of a transaction: with Forex, you can start pretty much with 5k; in stock, maybe you can buy 100 shares of blue-chip that limit your possible gain.
