Bobi G asked:

Hello everything, therefore I ask myself, why so many humans speculate
in day trade into the foreign exchange market, if you could determine
easily the development of the EUR/USD uSD-und then only some EUR
buy…. according to a few months should you several hundreds blip
profit. In order to be honest, I am new on the foreign exchange
market, and this is one of the few things, which I yet do not
understand, on all… and this is probably one of the most important
parts with all the foreign exchange market.

    No negocio el mercado de la divisa, sino que puedo decirle que si
    usted es cualquier bueno en ver una tendencia en cualquier clase de
    mercado usted pueda hacer que las porciones del dinero…..but
    recuerden, él soy muy fácil mirar una carta y ver qué ha sucedido
    en el pasado……… pero es muy duro predecir el futuro, que es lo
    que está intentando cada uno que está negociando hacer. si usted
    piensa es fácil, usted está adentro para una educación rápida en
    cómo es difícilmente si fuera fácil cada uno sería rico.

    Lo que realmente perjudica a la mayoría de los especuladores es la palanca que utilizan, a fin de la celebración de una posición a largo plazo hace que sea muy arriesgado a menos que su bien financiada.

    Pienso ciertamente que usted consiguió la idea derecha sin importar
    cualquier mercado usted invierte adentro. Creo también que el mejor
    que podemos hacer es probar lo más mejor posible para determinarse
    qué manera es la tendencia principal y para ir con ella.

    Hi

    Actually everything is not as simple as it looks from first view. Yes, everything looks very nice in the historical data but absolutely different is when you have to determinate market movement for next step. Just try it on demo account and you’ll see that it is not so easy.

    Yes, you can trade monthly if you have huge trading amount and high risk is comfortable to you.

    We all know that EURUSD daily average is about 100-120 pips. Weekly average is 200-400 pips, Monthly average is 400-600 pips. Accordingly stop loss orders should be higher for longer term trades

    So every trader chooses trading style that conforms to his/her character, funds and allowed risk.

    Furthermore forex is volatile market so every trend is formed from several shorter term trends accordingly those shorter trends are formed with several more shorter term trends and etc. Therefore there are different term traders

    Actually day trading is most profitable. Sometimes especially after important fundamental news it moves more than 100 pips in 1-2 hours. So you could earn at least 100 pips on one movement. But if you would choose smart way for entry then is possible increase profit even twice. At least once per week such movement is available.

    So day traders need fewer funds to receive higher income with more comfortable stop loss.

    As you are newbie I think following books would be useful for you.

    Market Wizards by Jack D. Schwager;
    Technical Analysis by Jack D. Schwager;

    Comprehensive Course on The Wave Principle by A.J. Frost and Robert Prechter;
