How long you in front of the chart?

[Nganti]

in my style trade just part of day in fron of chart, maybe just one hours only to make open posisitions. and after it i just use My mobile phone to watch the movement or close my posisitions.

If you are professional trader, then it requires about 7-8 hrs. If you are a part time trader, then you give minimum 2 hrs a day. I thinkm if we know how to trade, it's doesn't need much time to trade.

I think no. Professional trader don't need to stay long time in front of the chart. They can easily make good profit on short time. Because they know which is the best for making big profit.

Every good trader will through that step like you, mate. At firsts, we do need much time to saty in front of chart or screen since we need much time to observe and learn any possible thing from the market. But, once we get quite good understanding of that kind, we should less our time in front of chart to learn any other kind -> not to be overtrade.

I agree with you that in this trade to be a need to have knowledge and experience of how we need more time to be in the market and this makes it more able to recognize the market in our trading

the number of hours spent in front of chart depends on the personality of trader and timeframe the trader is using. if a trader is disciplined, enter the trade based n his strategy, me may not need to stay glued to the system. ifyour trading higher time frame like daily you may not spend more than 30min with the chart. it is better to study the chart but dont be too glued to it.

I think you should take about 4-5 hours a day to learn forex and study chart. Don't sit too long in front of the computer. Learning 1 hour, then stop, relax, and then continue in the afternoon or evening.

I usually devote 1-2 hours for analyzing charts before starting trade , chart reading is necessary for all and in general all traders do this function for all day and they usually do trade after getting signals form charts as well .

If i spend long time infront of the chart then it make me more crazy and on that time i can't control my emotion. So now i spend too little time after opening my order. I think with this i can control my emotion.

Whenever I have time to analyze market I trade analyze them ,But for scalping I scalp in New york and London session overlap sometimes.

Now i am trying to avoid standing long time infornt of chart. Because if i stand long time infront of chart then i can't control my emotion. And emotionally i can loss my money on that time.
