  1. Depends on your style... Picking up quick scalp profits or losses will result in more trades.

    I guess we should also characterize trades. If I were to break down my trades into actual ideas and not putting the positions on themselves it'd probably be more like 3-6. I usually scale in/out so actual trades from a trade log are more.

  4. That makes more sense, large money is only made on 1 or 2 DAY trades per DAY from my study...

  5. You can even see it in the charts. Count everyday the big waves.
    I average between 1.79 and about 3 trades a day for the last year. Depending on how the markets are.
