Is Short Term Trading as Profitable as Long Term Trading?

What Time Frames Do You Trade? Kamal Warren, a FTSE 100 day trader comments. I look at the 5-minute, 15-minutes and the 1-hour charts, typically I have two screens and I always have a 5-minute charge open and I also monitor the 15-minutes chart. I know that swings traders also look at the hourly and daily charts because they cut the noise down. Is short term trading as profitable as longer term? For me short term trading is profitable, of course with short-term trading you keep paying the spread while with longer term trading the spread is only incurred occasionally.

1. You can't trade a 5 minute or a 15 minute chart.
2. what does he means with 4% risk? Does it means he leverage his Capital to 96%?
3. Nice
4. The books say you should trade the least amount possible, but that is also relative. An intraday trader using 5min time frame might trade 10 times a day and consider that 'infrequent' while a multi-day or multi-month swing trader might trade once a week and consider that infrequent. By lowering your number of trades to the least amount possible for your time frame you force your buy/sell signals to stop whipsawing you around unnecessarily as well as reduce trading costs. Or so they say.

7. There are many ways to go about the markets, this is one way.
8. The lady is very good-looking. What the man said is true. The key to success is to trade small and more frequently or less frequently if you are patient.
