Poll to see Long term vs. Short term traders

I was just thinking about the concept of how there is said to be only 5% winners vs. 95% losers in the forex world. I want to see if this percentage relates to daytraders vs. long term investing traders (forex only). When i say long term i mean holding trades for close to or over a month at a time. Short term, im specifically talking day traders who have say set times that they trade everyday, place a trade almost everyday, etc...

both option?

I put short term. The only trades I hold over a month are my ***/JPY trades. The reason being is that a month or more often goes by before I get an exit signal due to the obvious one sided trading. The same system gives 3 - 5 signals on a pair like GBP/USD per month.

Well I trade off a daily chart. Sometimes trades only last a couple of days. Some may go for a few weeks.

I only exit when the market says it's time to do so.

I wanted to leave out the option of both because i really just want to compare the 2 styles of trading

all long term traders, if u wouldnt mind, will u say how successful u have been and if your acct. is live vs. demo

Same here, and the success that I'm getting now is phenomenal... it suits my style and I have lots of freedom. When I turn pro I do plan to have a separate "Gambling" account with small lots for news trading. Short Term can be profitable. I've seen it but never manage to get it right, hence the name... Gambling account.

Got my life and sanity back (and my money)

short term ,
since it is yen, i'll hold the losing one till the interest rate can't gives good swap

Only long terms. I think it more effective and stability way of trading. But i need huge reserve of the toleranse.
