Type of trader?

[Jeff - Axiory]

Hi everyone,

Just out of interest, what type of trader are you?

Also, please leave a comment as to why you choose that type.

Are you:

Scalper - Looking to hold positions for a matter of minutes.
Day Trader Looking to close out all positions by the end of the day

Swing Trader - Holding a trade open for between a day and a week

Position Trader - A trader who is looking to hold a position for a number of weeks

Long Term Trader - Someone who is holding a trade open for months at a time

Buy and Hold Trader - A trader who is looking for a return over a number of years.

Happy trading

Jeff

I am a Swing Trader and I trade with less amount so not interested to wait for months or years.

Fit under categoty of scalpers (average time in a trade is ~ 10 minutes), but consider myself more of a short-term intraday swing trader.

nice topic here, I used to scalp with hotforex till I found how much swinging is more like my style. but some times i do hold a trade for more than a week or even a month so i guess im also a position trader

if you hold a trade for more than a week that makes you a position trader right?

i find it more convenient really, I used to be an aggressive scalper, and it can be time consuming and my risk of loosing is big!! but since i shifted to swinging and now position trading, its been a lot better, though i lost a big one in the 1st week of may but its ok, im trying to make up with a couple of wings

Where are the 'buy and hold' and 'long term traders' then?

I prefer trading 1-5 times a week. some times only 2-3 within 1 month.
