One of the most important misconceptions of forex or foreign foreign exchange trading is the idea that so as to make a lot of money, you’ve got to make a lot of trades. Also, one of the largest grouses about certain forex androids is that they do not make enough trades. But does it truly matter?
Of course to some extent this depends on the system you are using. Day trading and scalping systems sometimes work this way. Nonetheless these systems are stressed. There is nothing good about putting yourself in for a lot of stress. Apart from the health risks, which are fairly well known, stress leads to impatience, bad calls and more mistakes in trading, so it can lose you money. What is more, whether or not the system goes according to plan and you use it completely, it is far more laborious and frequently less profitable than a longer term trend following system.
