Usually traders enter in forex market to make money overnight and want to book daily profit, but maket do not always act as per expectations and so there are frequent losses booked. Though you will notice that the price again repeat after few days or months - history is witness no trend is for ever, so once you open the trade, wait for long until your get attractive profit, remember do not invest all your money at once but keep some amount to take advantage of attractive prices your get over the time.

Well, long term trades are less risky and surely profitable as far as I have noticed. Long term trades does require huge initial capital but the profits level are also high in such type of trading and with a far less risk as compared to that of the day traders or other traders trading on shorter time frames.

Well @adnan it in stock market that you need huge capital because you dont get several times margin on delivery trades, but with forex brokers it is wonderful that we can hold position for long by just keeping the risk amount into our account. For example deposting 1000$ and buying gold worth 10,000/- is easy and safe too because we dont expect gold shall be coming down 10% from current levels and if it comes in worst case we have option to deposit little more money.

That's true. Its better to make a good use of long term trading than short term trading. Although the earnings is not that explosive as day trading but its much safer than day trading. And I think its not worse to use day trading either. And about the earnings in stocks its not really bad because although the earning by margin is not that good for me its much safer really to trade in stocks than in forex.

From what on my understanding that long trading will be applicable in the leverage of 1:500 or 1:1000. Well the only thinking here for me is how long is that long trading is it takes a day to have one trade or few hours. :D

Well if you decided to use high leverage of 1:500 or 1:1000 you should forget about long term trading, even there shall be chances to get a margin call same day. To do real long term trading you shall have to stick with low leverage like 1:10 to be able to make profit.

I do not like trading in the long run I think it causes me fatigue in the nerve, therefore, the best short-term trading

 

You are right, when you open a trade for long term and intend to take advantage of long term price appreciation due to good fundamentals like gold and silver, this is more understood as investing and fortunately unlike trading this is quite safe and risk factor either do not exist or is very little.

Just try to do check the average price of that pair in a week. Then the average high in the week and the average low in the week. And same thing for last three weeks. In this way you can plot chart. That's what I'm doing right now. Patience is the key in here. And same time you also need to follow your strategy. If you see that your losing don't hold it close your trade. That's why I always trade if theirs only a reversal.

I do not ignore the benefits of long-term trading but I am actually, intimidated by long-term trading. I feel that I am not ready for it yet. I am now in the processing of checking the charts and analyzing the effect of news on it. Maybe, if I will learn more about it, I will trade long-term.

On the contrary, I believe that short term trading is more fatiguing than long term trading. In long term trading, all you have to do is just analyse your market probably once in a dayand then place your trades. As long as you have very good money mangement technigues, with take profit and proper stoplosses in place, then you can just go ahead and do other things while the trade is running for some days.

Long term trading has several advantages and the best thing about it is the fact that it is far less risky than short term trading. Long term trading now only allows a trader to take benefit of the long term trend running in a forex market but also minimizes the risk of taking several short term positions to earn same amount of profits from it...

i think that is right, we also need long term trading, but from what i find mostly used short term trading when it comes to trading, as they hope to get more bucks from it, but sometimes i used long term trading and the result is more profitable rather than short term trading which give us more risk

Most traders have the very wrong impression that they can make more money from short term trading. This is because it is actually interesting to see that you have make some money in a very short time. However, because of all the fluctuations that occurs in the market, the short term trader will most likely end up with a net loss at the end of a trading day while all that a long term trader need to do is to correctly identify a good trend and keep riding it. He will be able to avoid all the noises in the market that results from the daily fluctuations.

That is what the problem with me. I too trade forex for short term only in anticipation of greater profits but I do miss out on profits which I could have bagged if I have traded for long term. Actually I don't have patience while trading and look to grab on any profits no matter how small or big it is. Technically this is not the right way to trade but I am trying to change my trading strategy.

Forex experts advocate that a forex newbie sticks to the higher timeframes like the daily charts and above. In all truth and honesty, if a trader does not have a consistent trading system, the if a loss is taken on the daily charts, the the trader would have wasted a lot of time waiting on one trade.

Its really don't work that way. If you trade in real account you must make sure you understand the strategy that you are using. I like you to try first in demo account. In their you can practice the strategy that you are using. The more you earn in demo account the higher the chance that you going to be successful in real account too. But one think I learn in trading in demo account is that you need more money to earn money.

@flybiz08 Not only that what that person is saying I may said that its wrong because if a trader dose not have enough money in his account there is no way he or she can be making huge in long term trading instaed for the newbie when they are through with demo he can start with scalping trading befor proceeding to long term

I'm now studying the option of long term trading but it does not come cheap. I see some brokers offers free swap account but I still don't find one that make me invest. I have a broker that offers free swap and with interest problem is that the minimum to invest is just too big for me. I'm hoping that I can make a good profit if I'm going to go big.

I also like one that has interest bearing. Meaning if you don't trade you earn interest.
