Short-term speculation
Short-term trading is a popular way of making money on forex trade, since the active trader that is willing to do a lot of trades in a short timespan can turn a small initial bankroll into big money. Of course, there is always the possibility of quickly losing your money as well. Swing trading is fun and can get the adrenaline pumping, but it is important to keep a cool head if you want to be profitable in the long run.
Many brokers hail this as the best way of making money on the forex market, but before you take their word for gospel you should keep in mind that most brokers employ a business model that means that they make a profit (commission or spread) on every trade you make. So, from their point of view, it absolutely makes sense to promote very active and frequent trading. It is therefore a good idea to search for more unbiased information about fore trading when you decide what your next forex trading strategy will be. Take your individual situation and preferences into account.
Longer-term investing
Another approach to forex trading is to have a longer-term perspective than they short-term traders. Long-term traders will usually study fundamentals to find suitable currencies to purchase an hold on to. The idea is to find a currency that is on a long-term upwards trend. Even if the currency goes through small dips along the way, you will still make a profit if the overall shift in value is positive.
Many traders that have built up a nice bankroll from a small start through short-term trading will eventually venture into longer-term investing and use a part of their bankroll to purchase a currency that they plan on holding on to longer-term. It’s a way of diversifying and also becoming less dependent on very active trading.
