It really depend on the market situation and also my own situation. I don't set any quota of how many I need to trade per week or per month. I just trade when I see oportunity coming and I will only trade when I have enough time to observe the price movement.

The number of trades taken in a day, week, month, year is dependent on the kind of trader you classify yourself or the time frame you trade.

If you are a swing trader and comparing yourself to a scalper, you will be comparing apples and oranges.

Personally, I look for 2 or 3 good swing trades a week (those that have a profit target in the couple of hundred pips).

But, will take day trades and even long term trades if they have a favorable risk to reward.
