Types Of Trader
There are a number of different types of Trader and
the category they fall into is largely determined by the chart timeframe they
trade.
Scalper
Trades the Tick or 1 Minute chart and tries to catch
quick moves in the market. In and out in less than an hour, sometimes minutes.
Trades a few times an hour, these guys enjoy lots of action.
Day Trader
Trades the 5 – 15 Minute chart and tries to catch the market move of the day. In
and out in the same day and usually less than a couple of hours. Trades a few
times a day, these guys enjoy lots of screen time.
Swing Trader
Trades the 1 Hour or 4 Hour chart, also known as
Trend trading. In and out in a few weeks but some trades can run for months.
Trades a few times a week, these guys are quite relaxed.
Position Trader
Trades the Daily and Weekly charts and takes a long
term perspective. Positions are often left to run for months, sometimes years.
Trades a few times a month, these guys also observe the fundamentals.
Summary
If you enjoy lots of action become a Scalper. If you
enjoy lots of screen time then it’s Day Trading for you. For a more relaxed
approach try Swing trading and if you are into fundamentals Long term Position
Trading will be your choice.
