Types of Traders
Find your trading style
Understanding your trading style is key to achieving long-term success in the forex market. Each type of trader approaches the market differently, so finding the style that aligns with your goals and risk tolerance is essential.
Which type of trader are you?
When choosing your trading style, consider your time commitment, risk tolerance, and trading objectives. Different styles require different skills, levels of patience, and focus. Find the approach that aligns with your style and start refining your strategy.
Forex Traders
Forex traders buy and sell currency pairs to profit from price fluctuations. No matter your experience level, forex trading is all about timing, market knowledge, and capitalising on currency pair movements.
Day Traders
Day traders open and close positions within a single trading day, aiming to profit from intraday price movements. By using technical analysis and sometimes fundamental data, day traders capitalise on short-term market fluctuations without holding positions overnight.
Swing Traders
Swing traders hold positions for several days to weeks, aiming to profit from short- to medium-term trends. Using both technical and fundamental analysis, swing traders typically spend a few hours each evening reviewing the market to make informed decisions.
Scalpers
Scalpers use a fast-paced trading style, aiming to profit from small price movements with frequent, short-term trades. This strategy is ideal for those who excel in high-energy environments and enjoy making quick decisions.
Position Traders
Position traders adopt a long-term strategy, holding positions for weeks or months to capitalise on major price trends. They primarily rely on fundamental analysis to identify undervalued or overvalued assets, using technical analysis as a secondary tool.
Algorithmic Traders
Algorithmic traders utilise automated systems to execute trades based on pre-set algorithms. This approach is ideal for data-driven traders who rely on technology and numerical analysis.
