euro Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 As a newbie, you might make more steady profit with long term trades. Long term trades are better than short term trade as they carry out less risks and the profit is for sure. You can trade for 8 hours and still make money versus trading for 2 minutes. You can buy low on a late Sunday and then sell it on Monday by 2pm or hold it till Weds or Thurs to sell it for more profit since price spike during the middle of the week. What do you all think?

Decub Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I feel also that long term trading would be quite beneficial to a newbie more. Setting a long term target and working towards achieving it over a longer period of time would most likely favour a new trader than when he sets it on a shorter term that would be discouraged by losses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standart Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 newbies have lack of knowledge still and require further practice to enabling them to understand the market. they can't apply short term trading which technically, difficult since traders emotions and patient would being tested. advisable indeed if newbies take long term trading which just risking small margin and catch profit by riding the trend. traders not necessary to deal with fast market changes in small time frame.

Stekin Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It is good that the newbie traders will be able to do long term trading instead of them to be doing short term. They don't have the trading knowledge. So therefore, they need to practice more and more in the demo account. If they are trading, they should not be trading in short term like the scalping because it will not be easy for them to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adil007 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well I think both types of trading is good, short term as well as long term, in short term I prefer 15m trading time frame and on other hand I also like the h4 time frame as well as these prove more beneficial/profitable, however I think too much long trading could be more risky so I would not advise it.

Decub Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 @adil, why long term is most preferred for a newbie to short terms is the fact that short term trading seems too hard and more complex to handle than long term. It requires more smartness and ability to cope with the faster movement and quicker decision in short term trading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaban Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 depending on the trading strategy that we use. But it would be better if the newbie can trade in the short term. Because of the skills possessed by newbie still lacking. So that with short-term trading is suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenawly Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I think that short term trades of less than 1 hr can be very profitable too. If you look at the graphs carefully and move swiftly especially in the early hours, you can Make It wow. My big bro uses this so much and with high leverage. At one point, he spent 3 days to study the graphs and then on the fourth day made 500 dollars in 26 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharonblay Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I feel long term trading is best for a newbie, it allows him hold position for a longer period of time which kills the chances of taking sharp decision that is inherent in scalping. Scalping on the other hand requires that the trader have a smarter approach to dictate the different sharp movements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaban Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 depending on the trading system used by beginners. beginners are free to use the system of long-term or short-term because basically that determines the outcome is our ability to analyze market trading.

Decub Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Though long term trading is the best for newbies but in most cases, a lot of them are always tempted to trade short term. They see it as a faster means to make money from Forex and if it is so, why not, they just have to play around it and make money. That is basically what leads some of them to stack failure and subsequent loss of their account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaban Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 it depends on the strategy of each trader, for beginners who choose to trade the use of short-term scalping. but if not it would be better with a long-term trading. so it all depends on your trading strategy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sara hafeez Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Long term trading is best for newbies because in long term trade we use small lot size, once we analyse market and then we place pending order after which we wait for market profit time.

myregister Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 As long as newbies they want to keep focusing learning this type of trading then that is not a big deal to me, also they must know the risk of using long term strategy, since it mean that our position exposed to more risk so in later less complain or regret come to their mouth.

budado Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Long term is much better for newbies to start learning. Since they can focus on observing how the market moves than open and closing position that results to more loses. I don't mind if I make big loses when I was a newbies. My focus back then is to keep on learning and some how its pays off as I am earning good without any problem right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally true, but it is not like what you said. Practically there are lesser newbies that could apply both of those style, they must be focusing at one style before they switch to the other, and in order to be good at it, they must mastering it which takes even at least 1 year.
