According to my 10 years of foreign exchange trading experience, professional foreign exchange trading mainly depends on strategic allocation and profit specifications. Long-term trading refers to trading with a holding period of more than one trading day, while short-term trading refers to closing positions within one day, both of which are just a matter of market length. According to relevant survey data, for some successful investors, the proportion of long-term investors is much higher than that of short-term investors. Although there will be more long-term profits, there are relatively more investors in short-term trading. So why do so many investors choose short-term trading? First, short-term trading facilitates capital turnover. When trading, many FXCM investors will be optimistic about a wave of market in advance. When the time is right, they will buy it immediately and throw it away once they make a profit. This kind of transaction is also called scalping. Make the funds in a highly flexible operation state. Assuming that the market fluctuates back and forth three times in a certain price range on a certain day, long-term traders can only earn the volatility of that day at most, while short-term traders who repeatedly operate can theoretically earn three times the volatility, but the funds they can use have not increased. The efficiency of capital use has been significantly improved. First, short-term trading wins by quantity. Although the profit earned by short-term trading every day is limited, the accumulated profit will be more objective if you trade several times a day. For some long-term traders, these profits may be ignored at all. Second, reduce the transaction risk. At the end of trading every day, instead of staring at the foreign exchange icon all the time, you can do something you want to do, so that the funds are in a highly flexible state. Third, short-term trading requires accurate foreign exchange analysis of short-term trading. If you want to make a profit, you must have a certain predictability of the current price trend, otherwise it is easy to explode.
