tprhzm2009 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I am not a full time forex trader, I have to spend most of my time on my work in the daylight, so I just spend less than 4 hours on forex per day, now I choose long term to trade, so there is no need for me to sit in front of computer.

Mangoes Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 An hour or so. Not too much time. After a while my attentiveness and reflexes start to slow down, and I don't really rely on long term trading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexeduser Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I have not traded anything yet nor I'm good at forex but from what I've heard some tend to dedicate majority of their time in forex and some just do it an hour or so like what Mangoes is doing. This will be a very useful thread for newbies like me so we can have a vague idea on how long would one spend just to earn through forex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People my age, puts my mind at ease to know that some one from my generation thinks a little like me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyippro Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I can imagine how long people stay in front of their computer to check their trading daily. Are we must to check our trade everytime or just let it work automatically with robot forex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuna1985 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I`m a part time trader. I don`t trade everyday but the times i trade, i trade from a single minute to an hour or two. I do alot of scalping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boniez Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I thought if you don't have many spare time to trade, does it good to trade with long term? Even tough mostly used by expert trader, but often the profit is good too. But if we only have special time to trade ya, scalping is the best choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirwilly Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Why is there the alarm over trading for 4 hours?! that is not much. Many traders are able to trade for 12 hours. Indeed, how else can you watch the currency markets and profit from your long term trades if you do not trade for that long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djfritz Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I will only stop once I reached my daily target which is 30 pips per day, once reach I'm off to trading. Usually I can get that in 2-3 hours through scalping, unlike before where I've been trading for almost whole day yet I only get 30 cents out of several orders I made.

boniez Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Well it is better to train your skills in the demo account first, even if not proficient should not need to force to go into a live account, because it's useless later only going to spend your money only. because I'm pretty experienced with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah always take your time in learning, you can watch videos in youtube I was doing it with some indicators I couldn't get. Always take notes of those indicators with it's setup and components, anyways my knowledge in forex is not that superb because I am also in the process of learning more so I'm giving much time in studying now than trading.

I personally prefer reading over video tutorials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellliottt Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I don't spend a whole lot of time trading. I study the market, set my profit and loss points and I leave it at that. I check it once in a while. I don't want to spend the whole day looking at the monitor when I can do something more productive. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rehan Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I am not giving much time to my trades at practice account but what I do is to give more time to my learning course of forex because it is more important to learn first and then give much time in trading. I am doing the same and hope to get success in real account in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
