Thread: Are you Scalper or do you do Long Term Trading?

Long term without hesitation. I like to sleep peacefully without being checking the chart every 15 minutes.

I do both. Scalping to keep me sharp and long term to build capital. Why choose if you can combine?

Scalping destroyed my nerves and the bill. I now operate H4 and sleep like a baby.

And swing traders what? As always, invisible in these kinds of surveys.

I prefer long term, but not because I like to wait, but because I have life outside of trading.

If I don't get in and out in 10 minutes, I'm bored.

This survey is very limited. Intraday absence, swing, mixed positions, algorithmic management... but at least it gives to debate.

If you scalping and you don't have an ultra low spread, you better not. It's like running with laces tied.

Scalping all day. I love feeling adrenaline. The problem is that I have also felt bankruptcy.

Long term. Less stress, less commissions, more clarity. Although of course, you need patience, which few have.
