Dear Friend..

this is a very interesting question.. highest failure in trading is not caused by the way one trades... long term/short term/ hft/ scalping etc. the only reason for failure in any kind of trading is the individual/trader himself.

My point simply was that there have been and are some very successful traders in all forms of trading mentioned here, whether it be hft, scalping , short/long term trading.. and many who have failed in all these forms. so one cannot categorize whether one form of trading is better or worse than the other. whatever form of trading suits ones personality, should be chosen.
