I really think that short term traders have a little risk in not making their targets because of the range of their trading points, Yes this still count as gambling but with a little risk involved, And even though they are basing their assumptions on the previous market flow there is a high chance in winning by taking that chance than to do a long term trading.
You assume like gambling, but you think it has a low risk, I think gambling have a big risk, isnt it?
I think short term has a considerable risk depending on the trader's skills. a trader must have a quick choice right? when the price falls they have to determine it quickly, mostly cutlose. that's why you have to analyze it so to avoid making mistakes like that
Agreed, I dont know if a single market where short term buys, investments, gambles, whatever you want to call it has reduced risk. The shorter the time frame, the higher the volatility, i.e. risk. It's not debateable
