I have a query, if i open a trade and dont close it, will it be closed by broker automatically after some time. Or i can keep it open for unlimited time this is if i have enough margin left in my a/c?

There is no exact rule about how long I can keep my order in open position because I always prepared Stop Loss to limit my losses
in a transaction and I setted Target Profit everyday. I will leave the order in open position until TP or SL is hitted so there is no need
to worry about my margin.

I think your position will not be closed automatically till you receive the margin call. you can earn money through this way by swap. some pairs are giving the swap on buying the currency and some on selling. find out those and then trade it.


Yes, the deals will float until you close it. May be i am wrong. Swap is in two types, if we buy then the swap shows positive value and if we sell then the swap shows negative value. But, swap is very small. We can able to get in it in a pips. Don't let the deal float for long time, try to find the entry point.

its depend on you. you just open your trade and put proper stop loss and take profit.
wait for hitting stop loss or take profit value.
if you are scalper trader than you can wait for one week if you are long trader than no need to close manually.
but if you see a strong news that move market opposite to your trade than you can close your trade manually.

For keeping a trade open we must have sufficient balance so that we don't get a margin call then there is no time limit for which we can open a position. I have kept my positions opened for as much time as 2 months.

Still you have enough equity in your account , your trade can be open .
If you are playing on small volume and your account is not swap free then you might not
get much profit with leaving the trade open for many days.

You can leave your trade open for as long as you wish to. It is continues to remain in profit then the trade will keep running. However, you should also consider if you are on a swap account or a swap free account. Position traders leave their trades to run for up to one year.

If you open your position it will remain opened until the margin call. It do not closed automatically by broker. So keep your margin high if you want to trade long term.

It is okay to leave transaction in open condition as long as you have good money management so you won't experience high
losses in short time. If me, I prefer to open and close position at most in a day. I didn't like to keep floating condition for more
than a day because mostly of them are not effective to gain profits.

You do very well because we are here to get some profit not to do the long term trading so getting profit in small chunks is so good instead of waiting for a bigger profit for many days or weeks. I also do the same, open a trade and close it for 10-15 pips but I always use small lots to save my account.

Hello,

you can hold up unlimited time your order. But there will be rollover costs from the broker to hold an order overnight. Thats the swap costs. They were differ from currency pair to currency pair and at a time their are positve and might be also negative. Thats a question if you open a sell oder buy trade and hold him overnight or more than 24 hours.

So the only thing is when you get a margin call there will all positions closed by the broker.

but if you see a strong news that move market opposite to your trade than you can close your trade manually.

ya it is true you just make sl or tp and wait for hit and also if make strong news then you can close manually for your decides.

Yes, you can keep your position open for even some months. If you have not have enough margin, then you will got stop out. Broker doesn't do anything with your deals. Deals are fully controlled by your traders password only. You know, swing traders make the deals to float for months. There is no problem in this.

It is depending on each trader to keep in open position because different style in trading will be different too.
I think you must use good money management to keep your account in safe place while it was open. About how
long the position in floating, it will depend on your analysis and your money management. It is possible if you closed
it directly or you used Stop Loss.

You can leave a position you have open in a long time, certainly if you trade long term ..
but for traders daily, they will try to finish one position up in 1 day ..
I think all the decisions that we do will certainly have good reason ..

no matter how long you will open your trading margin as long as you still will not be closed by the broker.
margin but if you run out then you will automatically be terminated by the broker.
but maybe if you open a trade in a few days there will be costs swap

in trading we should have a good plan about what we will do.
if we use good money management, of course we can use the sl and tp in each transaction.
and it is the limit for us to close the position that we do.

dragon
2012-01-06, 09:20 AM
that's my problem sir...
I always never use stop loss and I never sett the take profit point...

If you never did that so you should consider to use it in your transaction because you must have risk management to limit risk
of loss in each transaction. If you didn't use stop loss and take profit, that will be too risky to leave your order in open position.
It's better to cut loss or cut profit it if you don't have SL and TP point.

You can keep your trade open as long as time you want provided that there should be enough equity in your account to keep your trade running in case negative float is there.

I also think so, broker have no reason to close our trades if we have enough balance and our trade did not hit the preset target or either the stop loss if we have set any.

Of the basics that must be adhered to before entering into any deal to put a stop loss and target you for the case of hand-lock does not work, but may harm your account terminated altogether if it was lost or kindly light so I'm better determine stop loss and target of the deal

naik

Trades can be opened even for 3 months, it depends on the amount of target that a trader has in their trading. Long term traders are the major traders that uses it a a way to trade. You can leave as long as you like depending on strategy.

Yes, when you open your trade first of all to see your balance and then set your strategy how i can play and stay long time in the market other wise you will suffer a big loss and your market trade is also closed.

as long as your margin is good to hold the floating minus and not get MC, your order will still run for longer time..and then why you did not close your order if it have already gotten the profit?

You can keep your trade running for as long as you like as long as you have not been stopped out. If your trade is in floating plus then it can run for as long as it is open. If the trade is in floating minus, then the broker might close it when it gets to the point of a margin call.

You can't keep you trade for a long time because it will be automatically closed sooner or later by your broker. I don't prefer keeping your trade open unless you are well acknowledged with it. If you are experienced then carry on.

The kind of trading strategy that we have in forex exchange trading is what can determine closely the kind of time that we can leave our trades opened in forex exchange trading. Scalpers close their trades in less than 1 minute and position traders can leave their trades open for up to 3 months.

Any strategy that we use, whether it scalper, all have a purpose to gain an advantage, for that we need to master the fine system we use a consistent way to learn and practice

I think it depends on the situation as well. If we declare a long-term analysis there are profitable opportunities, I will not close the position on that day, although I have to go to sleep. I let in a floating state. Usually, my profit target untouched the next day.

Trade open or closs time depends on your strategy time. If you use stop loss and taking profit and wait for your hitting point if you are scalper you open a trade for a short period and close trade with small profit. its all about you

Your position would keep open if your have enough margin to keep that position, but if you set a stop loss and/or take profit, your position would closed if the price had touch that levels. So if you plan to keep a long position consider to have enough margin.

dmambi
2012-02-19, 08:44 AM
This is great tip my friend. I have seen that if you are going to sleep then you should close your position because i know when the market will slow then broker will play with you and will move the market against you.

Such things will not be always possible , because to move the market to a marginal level broker also need to put more money in the market and for few dollars they can not take such risk of investing money. so no need to worry about such things we can peacefully keep our positions open if we have enough margin and sl is not set very tight.

kaji
2012-02-19, 10:26 AM
the rules applied by the broker, you can open a position until whenever you want on the condition you have to have a strong margin to keep floating in your trade if the graph moves against the direction you set the position. but it is foolhardy in forex trading. so should we always use the TP and SL in every position that we are open

xiaotanghao
2012-02-19, 01:59 PM
It just depends on yourself there.If you have more money left in your account,which can be enough during the forex trend goes against you.what is more,when you are going to be a long term trader,then it will be OK for you to keep the trade open.The broker will not help you close your trade untill you do not have enough money there.

Broker allow to keep trade for any long period of time if you have balance for trade. If you not set tp and sl, then trade will run and continue till you stop by yourself. No broker have any limit for profit or loss (except with margin call).

You can keep your trade running for as long as you like as long as you have not been stopped out. If your trade is in floating plus then it can run for as long as it is open. If the trade is in floating minus, then the broker might close it when it gets to the point of a margin call.

you should your trade open as much as long or the peak point of market moving but one thing which is keep in your mind that you have enough balance to hold your open trade, it may be 200 to 300 points up and down.

iwan
2012-02-22, 05:56 PM
I've never done anything like this, which is open for trading me for 2 weeks. because I still do not get profit from the trade that I do. old can only if we have good money management, which is estimated to hold open the strong trade minus floating in large numbers. it is very risky but we also have to be strong mentally.

There is no specific time line. It can be kept open as long as you please. But the trade automatically closes if you run out of the free margin.
There wont be nothing left in your account. To prevent that keep a stop loss point when signout of trading leaving a trade open.

For keep open a trade we have to sufficient balance on our account that how much loss you can afford. Generally I dont like to open my trade position If you have enough money in your account. you can open your trade upto hitting target point.

malik83
2012-02-24, 01:59 AM

playfx
2012-02-24, 09:03 AM
if you're a swing trader, then this question won't applied on you. cause you can hold your position for days even weeks. but if you're a day trader or even shorter trader like scalper, then holding position too long perhaps not a very good option. so you really need to know what exactly the type of trader are you?

Morshedul
2012-02-24, 11:10 AM
It basically depends on the trader. I wait until i get profit. But for those, who have less amount of money should not do that. You can use both stop loss and target profit. Then wait and see what happens. To me, there is no limit that how many time i keep a trade alive. Its totally depends on the market.

Every day your broker will close your position and reopen it at about the same price,this gives your position a new sattelment 1 day in to the futer
or 43 day in to the futer if the roll over is on a wednesday.
you will either earn or pay, to have that position roll every day.depending on the over night interst rate involved in the currency pairs trading

not the only thing you must leave a position you have open in a long time, especially if you trade long term and also for traders daily, they will try to complete a position in one day and
I also think that every decision we make will have a good reason and this is the right chemein I see.

if you open position for long time.

when we holding the position over nights, we should aware about the swaps fee, so make sure if you're going to use swing trader strategy, only sue free swaps account. it will help you more focus only to the position and not the fee that add up each day.

as long as there are left margin, your order will still open. If there floating minus, and your margin out the broker will automatically close your order.
I might know, why do you want your order still open? because I think it's dangerous because we can get a margin call

you can keep your trading for 100 years if you have got available margin to keep survive on the market if you have to take profit with out making stop loss you will not loss capital but you may lose profit.

You can let your trade run for many months but it is not good to do that because the movement of the market changes. If you see that it is now in positive then close it don't wait for the market to change direction. Profit is better than losing your entire account if your draw down it too much.
waiting position for months I think it is not healthy. will be a lot of wasted time. would be better if we use a stop loss. Do not leave floating for hundreds of pips and a long time. better these days at a disadvantage, but tomorrow is we still have a chance to get profit.

There is no exact rule to limit how long you must keep your account in open position. It's depending on your style of trading, your money
management, and also your confidency to keep position in floating condition. If me, I won't let open position for more than a day because
I don't quite sure with open position for long time, except if there is special case.

I have a query, if i open a trade and dont close it, will it be closed by broker automatically after some time. Or i can keep it open for unlimited time this is if i have enough margin left in my a/c?

you should close yours trade by urself so that you could escape from margin call then, but if you donnot want to close it at you can just hope for profit then broker will not close yours position until argin call will come and you have nill balance in yours account, thats why you should use stop loss.

yes, you can leave your position remains open as long as you want. there are some traders who could even let the position remain open throughout the year. usually this is done for gold trading. because the price of gold tends to rise throughout the year.

You can keep it open until you get your profit. Do not let the loss take your money.
what if it turns out that we get no profit, but only a loss. because the price is not coming back. we should not have to wait too long to make decisions. there should be tolerance for all positions close no matter what. for example, if it reaches 100 pips loss, then we are obliged to close the position.

you can maintain your position open for a margin sufficient to cover it. but it helps if you have a limitation in the number of pips. because it realized or not your "big-size" floating minus position will most affect your mental and emotional in the next trade. it's happen to me and it's could be happen to you.

Yes, you can keep your position open for indefinite time and your position will keep running unless your capital amount finishes from you account. You just need to maintain the required margin for your position.

Yes, there is no special condition to limit how long you could leave one or more orders in open position.
It will depend on each trader's style, if you're swing traders so you could leave your order in open position for longer
time than day trader.

i think that there is no rule for opening or closing positions...so we can keep open a position for a long time...even now i have open a position which i have been holding for three months...so as far as we have enough money for margin and negative floats, then we can keep that position even for an year.....

I have a query, if i open a trade and dont close it, will it be closed by broker automatically after some time. Or i can keep it open for unlimited time this is if i have enough margin left in my a/c?

So it is clear now that there is no limit on how long er can keep a forex position openhough if i hold it overnight, i may have to pay "rollover" fees or swap. Now only think we have to be careful our broker should be trusted or gd regulated so that he dont close or get to problems when our trade matures.

There are several reasons why you still keep a position in a long time. first, you need strong capital to keep floating. the latter, you must have a strong random why should keep the position. Do you believe the price will return as previously. if you are already convinced, I guess it does not matter.

as long as there are left margin, your order will still open. If there floating minus, and your margin out the broker will automatically close your order.
I might know, why do you want your order still open? because I think it's dangerous because we can get a margin call

You can let your trade run for many months but it is not good to do that because the movement of the market changes. If you see that it is now in positive then close it don't wait for the market to change direction. Profit is better than losing your entire account if your draw down it too much.

I agree with you. we do need to adjust to the market situation, if we can hold the position or not.
if we predict the market will do the reversal, then we can make profit-taking in advance to realize the profit that we get. so that our efforts are not wasted.

No your position can not be closed until and unless your capital is enough for trading. You can opt for swing trading and you positions can be opened for months and there is no requirement in this regard. So you do not worry about your positions and remain easy while trading.

waiting position for months I think it is not healthy. will be a lot of wasted time. would be better if we use a stop loss. Do not leave floating for hundreds of pips and a long time. better these days at a disadvantage, but tomorrow is we still have a chance to get profit.

Sri Hartono

how long you leave a trade is a personal decision and depends on your strategy. If it a trade you think will still move in your favor you can still leave but is best to protect some of your profit before leaving the trade to run. Also if you trade the daily time frame you will have to leave the trade for some days but if you trade the shorter time frames you have to watch your trade.

I think depending on the style of each trader to trade. If you are trading with scalping way it only takes a few minutes to hold the position. If you trade with daily, meaning you hold a position and close positions in a single day, but if you're a long-term trading, then you hold your position as long as possible. forex traders be dynamic and should not be static.

You can keep open your trades untill you have a great expectation that your trade will make profit for you. Yes this is right some new traders closes their position after making a small loss but after this they see that the trade is making profits. So the position need not to be closed untill it is beyond the limit of recovery.

This may be done if you are trading with intraday style. but, what is meant here is the long-term trading. or rather, how long you can hold floating happens. I just think, if your margin is still quite strong, you do not need to worry. you also need to look at historical price of one or two months ago.

If your open position is already in profits you better close it while it is still positive because it happens to me many times that I waited for more profits but the reversal comes too quick and the next day it already is in negative. Don't waste your time let it run for too long because you might regret it.
If you open a position its either in profit or at loss you need to follow your strategy and your indicators. If your indicators states that theirs a weakness then that means its going to have reversal soon and its better to close your position. But if your indicators states that its just resting and still have some momentum to go then just hold and wait. Don't move on impulse move on with your indicators.

Yes this is more profitable but you need good knowledge on technical analysis. Without technical analysis you can't catch right trend point. If you can't take right trend point then market will never touch your take profit point. So it is best to do technical analysis for creating long term order.

Sometimes I hold my position open for a month. Although theirs also swap fees. But its so small and if you think long term you can also earn good amount of money. But make sure you have indicator that suggest that in long term its really going to go on your side. Because if you are holding a position for hoping to go down even without any support from indicators then that's wrong. What you need is forecast.

Still you have enough equity in your account , your trade can be open .
If you are playing on small volume and your account is not swap free then you might not
get much profit with leaving the trade open for many days.

forex me equityy hone ke bahut fayde hote hai..sabse bada fayda to yahi hota hai ki aapke paas back up bahut zada rahega jisse ki aap apni deals ko bahut lambe samay tak rok ke rakh sakte hai
chote account walo ke paas zada option nahi hote kyunki unke pas back up ke liye zada paisa nahi hota

I think it's only swing traders who will open position for more than a day in forex. If you're not swing trader, so it's no need
to keep open position for more than a day. If you're scalpers so you shouldn't wait for about an hour because scalpers should
open and close position quickly.

It happens when you are setting any kind of profit target. so keep a fixed profit target and exit the trade when you reach it or set a Tp for it. Since the market moves like a wave we never know when it will move in which direction.

if you set a stop loss and take profit when the pen then the system will automatically shut down your system when the position was already a stop loss or take profit that you specify. but if you do not determine the stop loss and take profit when you open the open position will continue to run as long as funds are still there kercuali fund has been used up then the system automatically shut down

I think there is no exact time that how long you keep your trade. I think it totally depends on the market. If you are a good trader, then you will understand about it. Long traders usually wait for longer periods. But if you are short trader, then you need to put stop loss and proper target profits. If you get any information that market price is decreasing, then stop the trade manually, otherwise no need to stop.

ermaniso2011

l think it is depend on your margin always.as long as the broker will not put a limit you can leave it opened as much as you want.but most of the brokers will charge swap or commission if the position is left open for long period.it will happen only if you are a long term trader.but most of the traders will not leave their position for months.

If me, I don't have limitation in time to keep my open position because I have setted Stop Loss to limit my loss so if the price is not hitted
into SL or TP so I will hold my position and let it move in floating condition. But from current experiences, the position was cleared at most
2 days in floating position because I used volatile pairs for trading.

raka999
2012-05-08, 11:41 AM

2012-05-08, 01:18 PM
I don't like to use long-term trading because I don't like to wait for long time to know profit and loss. I prefer to close position soon when it was
profit and then I could find out another chance to gain profit. I will make sure if the condition is clear for all days but if I should hold position so
I will only hold until the next day. If the condition is not better, I prefer close it and find out another chance to gain profit.

If you're long-term traders, it's not big deal to hold condition for long time enough (more than a day) but it's different
if you're scalpers or news trading. For long-term trader, maybe the money management could hold movement for more
than a day but for scalpers, it won't be good to hold position for more than 2 hours.

I think it's enough to hold position for about days except if we are sure if the movement of price will keep in trending in

stop loss so you won't lose time for nothing.

If you are planning to trade like swing trader do...make sure you have a good long term analysis and stick to it. Make sure also that you have a big account balance to sustain the big negative floating position if in case the market does not go your way.

If there is good money management, I think it's still possible to trade with swing method but our capital is not high enough.
If you only had $50 as capital and you used 0.1 lot size with cent account, I think it's very safe. It could hold 50.000 pips and
it's more than enough for long-term trading.

I have traded Forex for one year. I sometimes keep my order for long time. And I have a conclusion: your order will not be closed by broker. You can keep it for a long time. But when you keep your order overnight, you have to pay the swap fee.

its depend on you. you just open your trade and put proper stop loss and take profit.
wait for hitting stop loss or take profit value.
if you are scalper trader than you can wait for one week if you are long trader than no need to close manually.
but if you see a strong news that move market opposite to your trade than you can close your trade manually.

I fully agree with you. When you are a experienced trader and have a heavy amount you can stop loss and take profit value and to take a few risks to earn money for your family.

If there is good money management, I think it's still possible to trade with swing method but our capital is not high enough.
If you only had $50 as capital and you used 0.1 lot size with cent account, I think it's very safe. It could hold 50.000 pips and
it's more than enough for long-term trading.

Swing forex trading business actually can keep a forex exchange trader in business. It is a kind of strategy that they can apply and then leave their trades open for over one day. It is a fruitful strategy if we are able to learn it.

A good broker seems they will never close our trade position without stop out or margin call in the trade because after all we have to know is their work professionally in this business and would not dare harm the traders because they will be in demand

true, the broker can not do that. but if we would let our position many days then we will get or pay for admission to our transaction. I think that such trading is less good, too, linger longer in a position to influence the psychological state of trader

Their isn't any restrictions on how long you can remain open your trade . it will not be closed by the broker unless you got margin call. the important thing is if you have swap free account then you don't need to worry other wise you may get charged on your open trade the interest expenses or income . So you need to look at that .

If you are a strong margin before touched a margin call or tersentu SL or TP then your trading position will continue to open until whenever the broker will never shut it down and let whatever happens to what is mentioned above it is touched or the closing of your own, if your account free wap it will smakin long as there is no need to be paid every day and if the profit is also going to continue to benefit for you and will continue to increase limits to turn back tnpa enjadi los or even increasing profits there will be no closure of any of your trading account.

If you never did that so you should consider to use it in your transaction beecause you must have risk management to limit risk of loss
in each transaction. if you did not use stop loss and take profit that will be too risky to leave your order in open position . its better to cut loss or cut
profit if you dont have stop loss and target point,

You can keep your trade running for as long as you like as long as you have not been stopped out. If your trade is in floating plus then it can run for as long as it is open. If the trade is in floating minus, then the broker might close it when it gets to the point of a margin call.

I think you could open position for long time when you're long-term traders but it's better to take a look on tendency on movement
price. If the floating position is floating profit so it's okay to keep open position but it will be better if there is trailing stop loss to
prevent loss after floating profit.

About how long one transaction could be left on floating position, it's depending on condition of market and also depending on
price of open position. If the condition of market is still supporting our position, so it's okay to keep holding in floating position to
gain more profits but if the condition of market is worse so it's better to stop it.

My advice, don't keep open position too long especially if you are waiting for miracles that current condition will move back to
your expectation because many traders who kept holding position although they have lost many pips. It's important to limit losses
and be realistic to read the news and condition of market. There is no exact time to measure how long I should open one position
but for me, I won't open position for more than a week.

There are several reasons why you still keep a position in a long time. first, you need strong capital to keep floating. the latter, you must have a strong random why should keep the position.

Your position will continue to float and will not be closed until whenever, as long as your margins enough to withstand the floating minus. Many traders who let floating, either minus or plus. But I never leave the position open more than one day.

Broker will not automatically close your position until you receive a margin call. You can earn money through this method for the swap. Some couples give to a currency swap to buy, and some to sell. Knowledge of those, and then the trade. If you don't wish to include swap or any other kind of interest in your trades then please use Swap-Free account.

However, exchange is very small. We may be able to get in pips. Do not let the float under a long time, try to find the entry point.

you just need to trade 1 hour a day. and you must stay relaxed and calm at the time of trading. and whenever possible use the capital market is relatively, and trading management are good.

I once held a floating trading up to a week .. then it is the price it can not be predicted .. if it is enough to feel the loss, then cut loss if the price did not come back ..
If the profit then take profit, and leave the chart .. do something other than forex .. take it easy

I usually leave my position open for a maximum of 3 days, because those are my target will be reached in less than 3 days, our strategy will determine how long we let our position remains open.

if you feel the trend is still in line with the position you have, then you can continue to hold the position until getting the maximum profit in trading .. but we must also be able to anticipate every possible trend which shall be changed quickly ..

I think until you receive a margin call, not your position is automatically closed. You, with the swap, you can earn money this way. Some pairs, to buy the currency on the sale and some to swap. When he finds them, and then replace it.

still watch free margin, as if floating minus is too high and reach the bricks stop out, it will cause a margin call which I think is very dangerous so I never had the courage to face the stop out moment.

If you are abandoned trading Long, afresh you'll be earning, but in case you anytime go Short, you'll be paying! Also, what those ante don't say is that there is a beforehand inherent in those assimilation rates
I'd trade you in comparing the length of the short trade as the trade term itself can be in residence at any time and can run
our activities while we have a short trade at the session melembur asia ..

I think not at all favorable to the open position in a long time, especially if you use a swap account where it'll actually be giving a lot of loss and hospitalization costs are piling up.

If you are a scalper, it would be outrageous if you let your trade open for even 12 hours. If you are an intraday trader, it would be ridiculous to let it open for weeks. Otherwise it is up to you or, more likely, your strategy. Because, after all, it is your strategy which suppose to tell you when to open a position and when to close it.

We can keep our trades open as long as we don't receive a margin call and we have enough money to avoid the margin call. There is no time limit for which we are allowed to keep our trades open, hence we can say that we can keep our trades open for infinite period of time.

I have a query, if i open a trade and dont close it, will it be closed by broker automatically after some time. Or i can keep it open for unlimited time this is if i have enough margin left in my a/c?

Yes, the deals will float until you close it. May be i am wrong. Swap is in two types, if we buy then the swap shows positive value and if we sell then the swap shows negative value. But, swap is very small. We can able to get in it in a pips. Don't let the deal float for long time, try to find the entry point.

I always suggest to close a trade as soon as it reaches to the profit zone as at any time that trade order may come to the negative zone but yes if a trader thinks that the trading order will go up ,he may just closely rise the SL value.
Trading is an art and with a good practice ,it gives best results.

thanks for the information you have provided, I feel that the information you provide is very useful for traders for traders, especially beginners like me. Therefore I hope to the senior trader for not providing information to us through this forum.

i think in forex it depends on how much free margin you have left in your account...when it get zero your trade will be automatically closed by the broker..no other rules

If you have enough balance then you open a trade in unlimited time broker never close your trade but if your balance is equal to you loss then broker will automatically execution your trade because if broke do not execution the trade then loss going to broker head.
