What type of Trader are you?

Hello everyone. I have been on a lengthy sebbatical from forums..seems like a couple years now... and I am a little out of touch with everyone to say the least. Hope everyone is doing well here at FF. Looks like the folks here have made some nice improvements to their website. I want to thank so many of you who have reached out to me via email over the months.

I was was wondering if it would be too much to ask if I could try to get a handle on general trading profiles of you folks here. If you are willing, could you answer these short questions, either here in the post or feel free to PM me or send me an email.... { email address deleted by staff }

 

1. Are you primarily a position/swing trader or a scalper?
2. What forex contracts do you primarily trade?
3. Do you trade the cash market or the futures FX market?
4. What broker do you use?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Cheers

1. I would be considered just a private day-trader i.e. supply liquidity (buy at bid, sell at ask) as well as take uni-directional positions. A position trader has traditionally been a floor trader who works as a dealer who also trades for his/her own account. A scalper is one who buys at the bid and sells at the ask, other interchangable terms would be a local, dealer, ect..Not correcting you, just sharing interesting trivia. I blame sites like babypips for perpetuating the wrong use of the terms.
2. FX futures via CME, the regulated exchange makes sense to me plus I can actually enter at 0 (real limit orders) rather than at a spread all the time.
3. Futures
4. Infinity Futures

Welcome back to the factory

1. Position/trend trader
2. eur/usd
3. cash
4. admiral markets

I would be viewed as only a private informal investor i.e. supply liquidity purchase at bid, offer at ask and also take uni-directional positions. A position merchant has customarily been a story broker who fills in as a merchant who likewise exchanges for his/her own record. A hawker is one who purchases at the bid and offers at the ask, other exchangeable terms would be a nearby, merchant, ect..Not remedying you, simply sharing fascinating incidental data. I accuse locales like babypips for propagating the wrong utilization of the terms.
