euro Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 If you time your trade and enter the market at the lowest possible price and then wait for it to mature then you have made some pretty good profit. I think timing things pays off. Right before the market open you can buy low and then it will surely rise once market demand is in session. So, I made like about 60 pips today with that strategy and it continue to work for me but its several hours of trading and not several minutes. How about you?

Decub Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Generally, timing pays of in the market. The success of Forex or the profit any trader would make is dependent upon how good he times the market, knowing the best time to enter and when to exit. For long term traders, some can leave their position for days and sell off when it goes high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

standart Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 not only for long term traders but point out good trading timing is our job as a trader. no matter the method or strategy we use in trading, we need to point out good entry level to make sure that we are end up with profit. and make the profit gain become maximize as well. require patience and analysis to wait and determine good entry level.

standart Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 good timing to entry for long term traders is when the trend start changing. market create new flow and traders goal is riding it. however, traders can't be late to entry in market if their goal is riding the trend. as long as trend momentum not gone or exhausted, traders have chance to get profit whenever they are entry in the market.

adil007 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Well the right timing sure does pays off for long term trading but I think newbies should not go for long term trading and for me as well it is hard to get into the forex market at the right time, so I go for short term trading like trades of 15m and similar, they suit me better though.

Decub Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Long term trading is best with accurate market timing. It is generally believed that when a trader is trading long term, timing matters more to him than any other thing. It is always better to buy and sell at the right time. Wrong timing on its own only ends up making the trader lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Well we don't know where is the right time to buy or sell, it is hard to predict maybe the price is rising for this 2 days but who know in future the price could rebound and make sharp movement?. The question that i want to ask here how to know that it is the right itme to buy and the right time to sell, as far as i know everyone has their own indicator for this issues which make some differences.

pepy Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Even it is very hard for trader to know but the basic rules is buy low sell high, so it is all about their experience and how good they are when implementing this rules. I know with technical analysis we could analyze the market and can see the rebound of the market when the price for example is falling too deep.

myregister Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Since long term foreign exchange trading based on momentum then the right timing surely pays off. This is the hardest part of long term trading such as swing. Timing in fact overall is the aspect that you can count, if you often made a good timing to open and close the position even as scalpers you already optimized your profit.

uncle gober Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 really, if we do not have enough trading ability to trade by using real account, we should trade by using demo account first. demo account itself serves as a place to learn or introduction of trading to traders, especially beginner traders.

Sininfinity Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 For long term trading a trader requires large amount of balance. And not everybody has it. We have to best utilize with what we have. Long term trading sure is beneficial for the big boys because the return they get are good enough for them. But for us small fishes, it is not good enough.

myregister Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 But as the thread starter said, it pays off. Overall long term trader earning would be hundred or even thousand pips. It is not like scalpers or other day trader which has smaller pips. As long as you patient enough and have a good strategy to contain the risk and optimized the profit in long term, it will be pays off.

pepy Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I think not just long term but in short term too, the only difference that the amount of pips you will get with short term trading and long term trading. It looks pays off in long term trading because it is basically based on momentum, the right timing will give you hundred more pips which means bigger profit for you.i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traders need to look at the bigger picture and I am not saying stop chasing short term gains but focus on long term gains. Over time it will give traders a good reward if they do. But they should have a plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sininfinity Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 It will take time to to become consistently profitable. It is true that the forex business possesses risk but there is also reward and if one can properly develop a strategy to stay profitable in the long run then it will be well worth it.

Asking21 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I agree that Forex should be considered long term. Scalping the markets probably only works if your very wealthy and can risk it. Bitcoin would have paid off very well over the years since it started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
