asiaforexmentor Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Forex Market Hours: How many times do you trade a week? FOREX MARKET HOURS Forex Market Hours: How many times do you trade a week? This is a question that is largely asked. Ezekiel. How many times do you trade a week? or How many times should i trade a week? Whats your answer? (Forex Market Hours) My answer to them is pretty much the same - 0 to 10 times a week. There is no definite figure and there never will be. As mentioned before, we enter trades when a setup occur with price action confirmation. Therefore, if there is NO setups = There is NO entry. It can absolutely happen when there is NO setup for the entire week. Which accounts for the 0 times a week. (But it rarely happens) And there may be weeks when there are alot of setups (may be even more than 10) But on average. Its between 0 to 10 times a week. Forex Market Hours: How many times do you trade a week? Forex Market Hours Some of you guys may think. That’s very little. Yes its very little. Would you rather have more trades with more losses OR Would you rather have less trades with more wins? Think about it. The reason why we take so little trades is because we filter away alot of the low probability winning trades. ‘Most traders find reasons to enter, professional traders find reasons NOT to enter’ – Ezekiel Chew Therefore, every trade we take. Must have a high probability of winning. Which will eventually lead to a good growth in your account. Forex Market Hours: How many times do you trade a week? Forex Market Hours Therefore, if you are trading way over than 10 trades a week. Look at the success rates you are getting. If you are getting a high success rate on all the trades. That’s good. But if you are not getting a high success rate. You need to think twice about your forex trading strategy. Are you trading the right way? Will your trading style lead you to a consistent growth at the end of the day? Remember – Forex trading is NOT all about taking trades. It requires you to think about and to have a proper forex trading system, a plan. This is a business. This is not gambling. If you are taking trades based on gut feel. – You are a gambler. I would recommend you to stop trading altogether. Either stop forex trading, or spend some time to learn how to trade forex the right way.

Ye i agree with you, open many position but didn't get profit is not good at all. Maybe if market is in sideway we can scalping and get few pips so if we use third part and get rebate we can get many rebate because that. In my country many people trading under IB and get rebate every week. That good facility because we can get few of our spread. How about in your country?

budado Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 In three weeks time I have more than 100 trades already and that is combination of scalping and hedging. So for last april I get 15% profit and I'm hoping that this month of May I can even do more. Its only may 2 so theirs still many days to go to earn 15% or more profit again If I can do that again I will be very happy. I'm happy because that's mean my strategy do still works.

standart Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 the answer if this question will be different for every trader. it depend on their trading style. swing trader maybe not open many position per week because their strategy is try to capture long term trend. while for day trader or scalper, maybe will open position many times in a week.

affpro Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Mostly I would trade 40 hours per week in the market because I do invest in each currency pair and wants to get some profit from it...

So you should take this advantage and try to get maximum profit from it... if for the time of the trade I think this robot depends on the robot when the robot was placed in the 24-hour trading market in one week then will work to 120 hours and this time quite a lot to do trade in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katherine464 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I make between 0-10 trades a month. From time, experience, and finally listening to successful traders that I know I have accepted the fact that any time Im 'in' the market im at risk profit or not. If a trader takes his/her average trade time from entry to exit and extends that by number of trades a year they most likely will see it adds up to be a good amount of time one's risk is 'open' to the market. Regardless of how good a trader is, this risk will at the very least lengthen their equity curve. I try to only pick the very very best opportunities consistently taking little bites of the market. Trading is boring when your profitable you wait for the market to tip its hand and if it doesnt you wait some more, I get paid to sit on our hands.

budado Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I tried to trade each day. My goal and objective is to get all the opportunity that comes to me. As long I have a good chance of making money I don't see any reason why I'm going to stop trading. Some how I do earn few pips each day. Although some how I don't follow my trading strategy. In the long run I still do believe that I can earn big amount of money each month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I have random time and all of my times to trade depend on how much news which has high impact that could give a clear result and signal and does not mixed result or the result that mixed with the other news, for example NFP has good news but unemployment rate showing a bit bad news. That is when i will avoid trading and don't trade, but i trade at 4-6 average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Frampton Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It is dependent of the situation and in Forex business the lesser we trade the better it would be for our chances to increase and risk decreasing. I don’t trade at all sometimes as my trades are over months old so unless I don’t find a strong reason I don’t come out of an already started trade while at the same time I do trade very fast if needed. I am able to keep my trades running even over months and months all due to OctaFX broker’s easy terms and conditions regarding the swap free account, it can be operated by everyone without any difficulty so I get full advantage and I don’t have to pay any charges for keeping my trades on.

I think trading all the time in this case everyday will lead to more losses, because we don't know when it is the right time to stop trading. Trade once in a week or at most twice is a good idea but it is all depend on yours because there few ocassion that there are around 3-5 times in a week.

Decub Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The way the market is is what determines the amount of time I have to give it. it is a matter of knowing what your analysis says about the market and also knowing how best you can handle it in other for you to make something good out of the market and benefit more from it.

pepy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Well one trading per week isn't a bad idea for many traders around the world, with that much they can make some earning from it as long as it still profitable trading but when it turns out to be a non profitable trading they should trade more to cover their loss.

myregister Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Sam here it is all depend on the condition depend on the data release, if the data is clear whether bad or good i will trade and grab profit from it but never expect for me to make 100% profit or loss, all is uncertain usually i trade at least once in a week.

pepy Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 If you trade also depend on the condition of the market then that is good idea, i already saw a lot of traders that do the same thing, basically they are reacting the market trend and make profit from that, it seems that you are a lot of like scalpers. As long as you have once chance to trade per week then that is not such a big issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
