    Lol, one time I have this uncle over at my place and man he doesn't like bathing at all. Sometimes I relate to it.

    Hard, dedication, and commitment is the key to success in the market. Do this well and we are good to go.

    True. One can't use a scalping strategy for long-term trading and vice versa. Do people even try that?

    I do. I use "strategies for long-term trading" for what many people would "scalping" (I'm not actually a scalper, but you might reasonably call it "semi-scalping"). And they work very well. ;)

    It's easy to assume that because the methods used for trade-entry signals on longer time-frames are more reliable (which they generally are) that it follows that longer time-frames are also necessarily going to be more profitable, but this is a mistaken assumption.

    Reliability ("win-rate", if you like) and overall profitability are two different criteria.

    Sometimes the far greater frequency/availability of trading opportunities on faster time-frames more than compensates for the reduced reliability.

    I'm "just saying" ...

    As long as your strategy works and is profitable nothing else matters. :thumbsup:

    London session is the best in my opinion as it has more liquidity than any other session.

    With same degree of risk applied (leverage) long-term timeframe trading is really more profitable, simply because of lower spread costs. I have raw spread account with Hotforex where I also scalp and fixed spread account for long term trading and I find that spreads costs still account for at least 20% of my profit. So I'm looking to switch completely to the long-term trading as less sitting before monitor is among other benefits from it.
