Scalp

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

Talking Newbie Day Trader

With a much grander vision of incorporating a little of all of them into my trading repertoire.

Of course an individual trading style should develop over time which is why I have been spending more and more of it here listening and learning.

GL/GT to all.

Agreed. My daytrading experience hasn't even really started yet. I continue to run the demo over and over to discover more and more each day. So apprehensive, so young, so nervous. Forex is made for those without nerves, right?

Day Trader

Still a day trader, but as I build capital I will open another account for longer term trades. It seems the logical next step in the evolutionary process, cash dependent though it is since I trade full time to meet my monthly nut. But I am a Paper Swinger!!

Smile Hi!

I´m swing trader generally, and intraday trader sometimes. all depends about market situation and strategies.
When my principal account is running on benefits on last swing operation, sometime we can open other intraday operations through another account or in the same account but operating with futures.
regards.

Re: ( POLL ) What type of trader are you

Depending upon the trade, I would be called a Day Trader, or a Swing Trader.
So, call me both!

Re: ( POLL ) What type of trader are you

Thats a great question and it's amazing how varied each trader can be.

I am a discretionary trader. (Don't use mechanical programs)

Some days when I trade I hold positions for only a few hours. Other days I keep a position for several days. I think over all Im a scalper holding positions less than 24 hrs.

Re: ( POLL ) What type of trader are you

According to the above I am a swing trader AND a position trader.

I find it very difficult to be as profitable on shorter time frames.

Could I ask anyone to vote on the poll "T/A: Predictive or not?", on this site, as it is another way of classifying traders, which in my opinion is even more fundamental.

Thanks

MidGe
