Hi, it looks like you are a daytrader. You didn't describe situations when you keep the position for several days.

Anyhow, choose whatever you are enjoying the most and vote
Good luck

for testing purposes it is #265 for me

hi mishak,

when taking some positions for more than one day I'm taking profits gradually when the price approaches the (fundamental predicted) target of 1.30.
As an example, 3 weeks ago the USD/CAD was ~1.343 and I had a total amount of about 500k:: starting from 1.31, I placed buy orders of 50k/each at every 10 pips, down to 1.30.

However, I already voted for "scalping".

trade em all..wherever the opportunity arises..in & out over a day..plus position trade..although stops have to be miles away to be a buy & holder in fx markets, huh...

[Ugly_Dog]

So how do you apply stops on a weekly/monthly platform? Don't you get stopped out by swings?

[Orion602]

any "Buy and Hold Traders" here?

do you trade only in direction to earn interest rates differential?

[cbelcher76]

intraday

I am between a daytrader and a short-term swing trader.

Many of my positions get carried overnight, eventhough they are usually open for less than 24 hours.

very rarely positions go for 48 trading hours or more.

Holding a position for 45 minutes is a long long long long long long time for me...
