Abstract:When you learn to trade for the first time, you might think about the best way for trading. Thus, you need to understand some of the existing forex trading techniques and their advantages and disadvantages.
Traders who want to take advantage of changes in the price trends of a currency pair over a long time implement this strategy. A position trader usually opens trading positions on a weekly to monthly basis.
Then, a position trader does not need to monitor daily price movements and does not need to watch the market too long every day. He only needs to observe trends in the long run. However, this technique requires large capital because the fluctuations that arise will also be large. Besides, you must understand the fundamental conditions of the currency pair. Thus, you do not place the wrong position.
This strategy is implemented in the medium term, or a matter of days to weeks. A swing trader looks for patterns of movement in the form of reversals in the direction of prices, with the hope of getting the best buy and sell prices to maximize profits.
With this strategy, you dont need to keep abreast of market developments. Besides, the profit opportunities are abundant, because reversals often occur.
Most beginner traders use this strategy. This type of trader only trades within a period of a few hours each day. Thus, you do not need to do a fundamental analysis that is too deep. Besides, there is no overnight risk because the position is closed at the end of the day.
However, because it utilizes price movements that change rapidly, a day trader tends to spend more time watching price movements every day. Besides, you must also observe price changes at all times to ensure you do not lag behind the best price movement momentum.
According to Investopedia, scalping is one of the quickest strategies employed by active traders. If a day trader opens a trading position in a matter of hours, the scalper trades in a matter of minutes. This trading technique is done by placing a large amount of capital in a trading position that is only opened for a few minutes.
The advantage of this technique is that the trading time is very short. Thus, you dont need to linger over monitoring price movements and relatively instant profits. However, to achieve profit, you need to be sure of the direction of the price of the currency pair that you choose. This requires very high analytical skills and experience.
By looking at the four trading strategies, you can choose the trading style that suits your trading abilities and objectives. Additionally, you have to make sure that you understand all the risks that may arise from certain trading strategies. Thus, you can prepare a risk management strategy that can minimize loss and maximize profit.
