How long you in front of the chart?

[Mr. Tukul]

I spend most of my time in front of chart because I am a beginner and learning forex trading through demo account. Chart is a wonderful item in forex trading. I really enjoy the movement of price of different pairs on the chart.

spend much time in front of the computer to make the system is good, but not good if you trade too long at the computer ...
not good for health and also can interfere with your emotions when trading ...

i think we don't need all day in front of the chart...
first, you need choose your trading style...you want to be a scalper or long-term trader...
for long-term trader i think 1-2 hour is enough to analyze chart and then open a position...
and for scalper can be adjusted with target how many pips a day to take profit...
if the target has been reached had better get out of the market...

yes you are right, it is not good to sit back and watch the chart for longer time, just wait for good moment and then take the chances with fast
i am a scalper and i open trade when the chart move with correctly and i can see it with clear

I'm a new comer so dont have much knowledge of it.
But i'm trying to learning it so most probably i learn about an hour in a day.

one hour consistently I think that's enough. are in need of forex is a great experience. so that the expertise that will be formed by itself. without us knowing it. often to read the book for the insight knowledge of forex.

I prefer to use the time in front of the chart when the before and after the news release news release. so I can understand how the movement direction. indeed very risky but I can anticipate the use of stop loss. so my account is safe.

if we want to maximize trading with less time in front of the chart, we can trade the EURUSD pair when the market started to go to Europe or America ...
because at the time of both the open market, price movements that occur in the EURUSD pair can be very volatile ...

I do not work for longer time just for few seconds every time I login and I make quick decisions and as I am regularly checking charts then it can not be hard to understand but if you are away from forex for long time then you may have to give a little more time to come back.

There isn't a fixed number of hours for which you need to learn in order to become a good trader.It depends on how much time you can give.If you give it more time per day, you will learn it faster where as if you give less time, you will learn it slower. If you are free every day, then learn every day but if you are a professional and have some kind of a job, then you can even learn trading on weekends. If you have time, I will recommend studying and watching the market for at least an hour every day so you can understand how market behaves during different sessions.

I sit in front of my chart for only 2 hrs, during the start of the New York session. This is the period that I normally take my trades due to the fact that it is very active. When I have taken my trades, I close my terminal and go away from the pc.

really better when we are trading at just crowded in a little while because if we over-trading will not be good on our health conditions and will have an effect on our analysis, it may be worse

As I am a full time forex trader i tend to sit in front my screen the whole day but used to take breaks in between. I spend most of the times for analysis and testing new strategies and trades only all my criteria as per my strategy is met. Sitting in front the whole day in front of the screen does not makes you a good trader though.

[forexman]

i will be infront of charts more than the 5hours per day and when i the day is holiday i will be watching more than 8hours and i think i should reduce that watching as it may effect my eyes and better to put stoploss and take profit
