Create a target in the range of 5-20 pips. But, sometimes short-term traders can earn higher profits than the long-term traders.

aapne ekdum thik kaha...short term trading aur long term trading dono ke advantages bhi hote hai aur disadvantages bhi hote hai
short term trading pe fayda ye hota hai ki aapko daily ke daily paisa milta raehga to apka interest bana rahega aur nuksan ye hota hai ki aapko roz ache se analyse karna padta hai
long term trading ka fayda ye hota hai ki aapko zada mehnat nahi karni padti ..bas ek bar trade khol ke rakh dena hota hai aur fir ache time pe close karna hota hai jabki nuksan ye hota hai ki apko profit ke liye bahut wait karna pad jata hai

yes it is, we just have to find a suitable and profitable method and strategies, and if we got it make it simple and start to get profit, that's all
because the target all of traders are profit and cash out the money or withdraw it

I prefer long time forex trading because in long terms you don't have to sit in front of the terminal watching each and every move of the pair and then you can make good profits from long time trading then short term. One great risk is that you have to place your stop loss at a fairly large margin to let price breath within that and if unluckily you SL got hit then it would be huge loss as well.

I like long term forex trading, I trade on 4h and daily chart. I want to do swing trading as it is easier than short term trading. In long term trading you don't have to sit in front of the terminal to view every movement of the market. Patience is required to do long term trading but once you get use to it, its very profitable than other types of trading.

Even when using the short term trading we have to remain focused on the long term trends in the markets. I have been trading using the H1 charts and the trends but to tell you the truth it is only the Long term trading that is the most profitable trading option provided you have the required margins for doing so.

I trhink you need to have more funds because short funds you can lose and after that you have to re start again but just wait for the time when you have good enough funds for long term so this is where you can secure your money by doing risk free long term trading this is the best way

Short term trading is good as then we need less fund as we can use higher leverage then, but for those stay in long term trades are forced to use very low leverage because they use bigger stop loss, if they use at all, but as they go with long term trades, they usually get out with profit sooner or later.

I usually prefer short term forex trading.actually I like scalping.And I always take
5% risk in my trade.But I wish to trade long term.

i am not agree with you that in long term we make a hug profit compare to short term trading.
In my view if any one have a good scalping trading strategy then he make more profit comparing to long term trading.

ya trading gold and silver can be very risky because our simple indicators and signals are of no use . it require good analysis to trade then only it is possible to earn the profit with gold and silver
