Depends on how many signals I get.
Make your losses in demo. Earn your profits live.

I usually made 5 to 10 trades a week, I'm just conservative in trading plus I prefer to trade intraday. Depending the volatility of market!

i usually submit 2-3 orders a day and keep my positions for a week or so. not such a big fan of intraday trading.

I plan to trade several times per day. In theory the more you trade (provided your trades are profitable on average) the more stable your strategy can be considered, i.e. being profitable over 1000 trades is more significant than being profitable over 100 trades.

There are number of factors which should decide how many trades you take per day. Do not make the mistake on chasing trades and looking for opportunities, let the markets come to you. You should not have a goal of making x amount of money or x amount of trades.

Your goal should be to follow your strategy, if you do that then you should make money. People who say they should make £x amount a day or feel uncomfortable not making a single trade in a day often chase trades when the market is flat which damages accounts.

A long time ago I use to trade the London Open from 0600-0900 GMT and then the US Open 1430-1730. I would make about 6-10 trades a day on average trading off 5 min charts. These times were when the markets were most volatile and opportunities were most likely to present themselves.

I then traded from 0700- 1800 trading off the 15 min charts. I would typically make 2-4 trades a day.

Now I trade off the longer term charts and make 2-3 trades per week. I am happy to say that I enjoy trading much more, I can do the things I love and I don't have to sit and watch screens all day! Yes I don't make quite as much but my equity curve is smoother and still make a decent return.

how many trades do u take in a week?
Ignored
I trade on average 2-4 times per week. Most of what I like to call 'trading time' is spent analysing charts and managing trades.

I have learnt that more trades doesn't necessarily mean more money.

My return is anything between 20-30% a year.

The worst thing you can do in trading is chasing trades, let the market come to you.

There is nothing wrong with not placing any trades if opportunities do not present themselves.

It is better to be out of the market wishing you were in than in the market wishing you were out!!

I trade 3-5 times a week, sometimes less, sometimes more, it all depends on the market. There have been weeks when the market's been highly volatile and I've traded a lot and weeks when the market's barely moved, so I did nothing.

I do not have a fixed schedule, but assuming a day of several trading opportunities (that match my trading strategy) sometimes I trade as much as five times a day. Nonetheless, on average I think it's about 1-2 times a day, which is why I consider myself a swing trader. All in all, I think try to stick to my strategy, thus avoiding some trading opportunities that do not align with my goals.

I scalp for a living - I trade 50-100 times in 2-5 hours. Always 2 positions at once.
That makes 250-500 trades per week.
