But if you can't do it right it can backfire to your account but long term can also mean a trader who plans to trade foreign exchange for a long time and 1530 minutes and 1 hour per month based on a monthly basis instead of If you trade Long long you open a position either BUY or SELL then close that position after a month or more (sometimes a year) as long as you profit until Traders prefer short-term trading and want to make money as soon as possible so that some of them do scalping where they trade a lot a day and aiming for a few pips and that is sure to be a swing trader who really likes to let profits run and trade only looking for 5-10 pips in each trade which all depends on how long the long term is for you but I think the long and short term trader differences are their profit target and Stop loss and take profit always have an interest even if you trade for a short period of time or a long period of time instead of the difference if shorter trades use lots of lots with small target pip
