I'm very much afraid to risk and loose my funds, therefore short-term trade is for me. Scalping is my favourite kind of trading and I've been trading so for a number of years, being always in the black.
how many years ??
and in black of what ?

I am a full time intraday and swing trader specially. Left with me with any commodity I can make money 80-85% time. Yes I agree 2-3 time I made big blunders now complete control on that. My daily minimum target is 2% of my capital. Last year I made good money in my client account in international then some disputes for commission. Even I got good money in few lakhs but spend that money on parties as In expectation of getting my $6000 commission due which I decided not spend. But unfortunately client cheated me and I got trouble. Then started in Mcx and 90% time made good money for others but in India too cheated though making 50000 to 1 laksh weekly for them but all run away. Only get 10000in total from them though 30% by share. After that begged my family for money and may be bad time again then got some loss in 2 months due to some 1-2 trade due to over leverage and second or third price come but margin was high so have to cut. Then I decided to improve my self and back in business from January and again in profit after recovering all losses now again in profit. My daily minimum expectation is 2% of my capital. But it is not compulsory sometime 2% , some time 1% , some time10% like that. And out of 20 days in month may be 1-2 small losses. But hope this time I will not repeat my mistake of spending my money on bullshit parties as when you get bad time no one is going to help you even you owe money from them. Now decided upto next 31/03/2018 atleast I be at home only and make my money.Only will go out for important work. Even I dont face such problem if some people of my family would help that time then same loosing trade me rs 3-4 laksh profit now. Anyways moral of the story is one can make profit but he should not be greedy or feary, discipline, and dont overleverage how much smart are you or dont over trade. Even you dont know trading at expert level but you can earn money in any time frame. If you follow some rules. Of that sl at right level is also a part. Many people argue 1%-2% of capital. That is bullshit. You need to check what is probability of market to be in your direction, what is standard level where market can betray you and wait for entry as far as possible near your level of sl. Many people after getting tip or advice jump immediately with trade but atleast they should learn to observe candlestick so that they can judge their entry in better way as many times sl hit and come in our direction and they say are Sl lagana hi nai chahiye unko sab pata hai. But if you know valid levels then 80-90% time you can be winner. But as I told above condition is important. It my life experience I shared. Hope this year be as good as last year first half. But no party till I become little big.
Not even single "like" for his big write up

The problem with short term trading is that the results are also short termed. You need a long-term strategy to achieve results suited for it. I think of short-term trading as a shortcut. They will eventually provide more losses than success.

Yes, you can make money through short-term trading strategy. But i prefer the long term investment style. There is greater chance of recovering your losses in this trading strategy. You should go with the policy that matches you trading personality. What do you think guys?

I always say in the discussions about the trading that short-term trading is not suitable by any means if you want to adopt trading as a serious option of earning money. You have to look at the market professional for gaining good profit with less execution of orders. Thanks

I think that you can make money this way but i like to go with the long-term investment strategy. I have used this strategy for the better half of my trading life and i have enjoyed the results. What do you think guys? Which strategy suits you better?

For sure it's possible, it's not only possible but major amount of people made their money that way at least from the start anyway. So go figure, and yes, that poll only confirms my thoughts anyway here. I'll do something else otherwise. But for now that's all I do.
