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

Re: ( POLL ) What type of trader are you

I am a discretionary trader with mechanical stops as I like to make decision on my own. I place about 2-3 trades a day with open position varies from few minutes up to 2-3 days.
