The principles stay exactly the same no matter the time frame. You just have to make decisions a hell of a lot faster on the faster TFs.

Not true at all. Intra-day trading is a whole different game from swing trading or long term trading. Unless by principles you mean stuff like let profits run and cut losses short etc.

Oh, its true. A principle is just a fundamental concept, right?. They stay exactly the same because the laws of trading don't magically morph in to some other weird dimension when jumping from one time frame to another. Thusly, if you can't profitably trade a 5 minute chart, then you won't be able to profitably trade a daily chart. The difference is that it will take you a lot longer to go broke on a daily chart just due to how long it takes the trades to play out.

I think that maybe when you say "Intra-day trading is a whole different game from swing trading", you are comparing scalping to swing trading. That is quite true, and I agree.

No I'm not talking about scalping. Unless you consider trades with 60 pip TP to be a scalp...

Amateurs think in number of pips, professionals always in dynamic SL and TP.

I have tried both, long and short term trading and that I am having bigger problems on the daily timeframe since I am more tempted to screw up my trades by reacting to ever single pip movement.

I bookmarked the PipsEasy thread. Looks very interesting at first glance. thx
Best long term strategy is to STAY AWAY FROM FOREX.

That simple TIP, will save you a lot of money.

Of course people who waste their hard earned money in FOREX are plain stupid, and won't listen to this advice. Thus, they will go and lose their money in this gambling scheme.

At least they cannot blame anyone, but themselves for not listening to this advice.

You cannot pretend to make money in a gambling system, for the simple fact that you cannot predict the future.

Carry trading ? No?
Be careful with exposing your money to market risk for so long time.

I'm currently working on a long term trading system based on pair trading. Backtesting is promising so far.
Point and Figure on daily charts is worth looking into

This can help grasp some basics between short, medium to long term trading.

Look for two currencies with central bank divergences: one which is increasing rates or looking to, and one which is decreasing. Buy the currency which is increasing rates, and sell the currency which is decreasing rates. This is WHY the markets move the way that they do. Good luck.
