Position traders ; Pocket shall be deep and one shall be patient for weeks to see green pips. Intra day traders : One needs to have great discipline and identify entry exit points correctly + can not hold loosing positions for ever. Having a right system, profit potential is more compared to position traders. Some Intra day traders continue to hold loosing positions and turn out to be Position traders as they do not want to take losses. Every trader must know what kind of traders they are.
Excuse my ignorance, But wether you are a position trader or intra day, If you are trading FACTS, How can your trade go so much in RED

An Intraday trader analyses trend in 4 hr, 1 hr decides to place trades based on 15 min TF entry. He must know what is his exit rule, may be if trend changes in 4 hr or 1 hr he can exit from trades taking stop loss. Or else he can take stop loss once important support or resistance is broken and going against his trade.

A position trader too must have stop loss limit, may be he can exit from trade once important levels are breached in daily or weekly chart.

There are few, their pocket is toooooo deep, they trade based on only monthly chart, decides entry on monthly chart. I am not sure if any retail trader is trading based on monthly chart entry.

I am an Intra day trader, I took positions in EURAUD, GBPAUD last evening ( Asia ) and made green pips.

In FF open I took short trades in GU and made good pips too in London.

But then the mistake..... I took another short position around 7038, added at 1.7045 for exit around 1.7000, but did not happen, I waited patiently and exited with very minor profit but most importantly I am flat now.

I can take short position later in FF ot London open tomorrow.

Very difficult to answer... but we can predict how the trend is going to be after London open for GU, and Asia open for GA or EA based on charts in my opinion.

Long towards 7065-75, then short towards 6970-7000, then long again. Have a good day everyone.

How many of you are flat if you are day traders? Ask yourself this question.

An Intra day trader will have better entry in FF or London, right ?

Sometimes I wonder what I am... Intraday or a Position trader. I trade the 4 hr charts. I don't go down to lower time frames, so I wouldn't call myself intraday... But at the same time, I'm usually hunting somewhere in the range of 20-50 pips per trade, so I'm not holding for gigantic moves either, so I wouldn't call myself a position trader in that regard.

Hmmmmm. What am I... Other than strange that is.

For me, the best entry hour is 1st or 2nd london hour. Unfortunately I can't stay up every night, waiting for it...

I trade based on 4 hr and 1 hr chart.

But my entries are based 15 min, exit based on support/ resistance for the particular day.

I will have to do the same, I guess...go sleep early around 8pm and waking up 2am, then maybe a little nap after, because I have to wake up at 6am to my other responsibilities.

is that why there are less fx traders in US than other countries? (disregarding lower leverage and anti-hedging)
i'm in US and i tried to fit into fx market schedule but i couldn't.. very difficult.
