Trading Strategies.

Six comprehensive guides covering every major trading style. From seconds-long scalps to years-long position trades, plus the risk management and psychology that make them work.

Risk Disclaimer

Trading forex and CFDs carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your financial situation. Never invest money you cannot afford to lose.

Scalping

The fastest trading style. Scalpers open and close dozens of positions daily, targeting small price movements of 5-10 pips. Requires intense focus, quick execution, and low-spread accounts.

Advanced•Seconds to Minutes

Day Trading

All positions closed before market close. Day traders avoid overnight risk by capitalizing on intraday price movements. Suits those who can dedicate full trading sessions to market analysis.

Intermediate•Minutes to Hours

Swing Trading

Capturing price swings within larger trends. Swing traders hold positions overnight and over weekends, using technical patterns and fundamental catalysts to time entries and exits.

Intermediate•Days to Weeks

Position Trading

The longest-term approach. Position traders ride major macro trends, ignoring short-term noise. Requires patience, larger stop losses, and conviction in fundamental analysis.

Beginner-Friendly•Weeks to Years

Risk Management

The foundation of every successful trader. Position sizing, stop-loss placement, risk-reward ratios, and drawdown control determine whether you survive long enough to profit.

The mental game behind consistent trading. Managing fear, greed, revenge trading, and overconfidence separates profitable traders from those who blow their accounts.
