What determines the choice of a trading strategy

Many simple trading strategies have been developed today. Therefore, it is important for each new bidder to choose the most optimal plan, to improve it over time for themselves. Profit in this business largely depends on the correct choice of the moment of the transaction and the period of holding the position.

Having concluded a contract, each trader independently decides for how long he opens a deal, i.e. determines the time and date of closing the contract. Therefore, according to the duration of holding a position, trading strategies are divided into 3 categories: short, medium, and long-term.

Short term

The short-term method is more intended for experienced traders. It includes:

  1. This is intraday trading where a trade opens and closes in one day. Forex strategies are simple and straightforward enough. They are suitable for most market participants. During the day, a trader can manage to make several transactions at once using different instruments. This type of exchange trading allows traders to open up to 5 transactions per day.
  1. Scalping… This option is convenient if you have a small amount of money on your account. Contracts are concluded for a minimum period – from a few seconds to half an hour. In this case, an experienced scalper can carry out up to 200 transactions per day, but not all of them are profitable. This is a rather complex trading method that is used regardless of the main direction of the market movement.

Short-term trading strategies are the most aggressive because provide for the conclusion of many contracts – an average of 100 transactions during 1 trading day.

Medium-term

In medium-term trading, positions are held for at least 1 trading day, and the maximum period can be up to 2 weeks.

Long term

In practice, money on the currency exchange is most often lost by those participants who do not know the basics of any of these types of analysis. And those who effectively use both fundamental and in their work make a big profit.

Fundamental analysis

This type of Forex market analysis helps to predict changes in the price of a financial instrument based on around the world. Important news often heralds a reversal of the price chart – trend. Therefore, a trader who has entered into a deal without preliminary fundamental analysis will not be ready for unexpected changes in the .

It is not recommended to enter the market on the eve of important events. In such situations, price movement is unpredictable and can change dramatically in one direction or the other. Sharp movements of the price chart in most cases close contracts by stop losses and with large slippage. This violates the rules of the chosen super strategy. Professional trading participants recommend to close positions and stop trading before the release of significant news until the market calms down.

Market participants often use fundamental analysis in medium- and long-term trading.
