Unlike you, I tend to be very patient. I could be in trade for months if my belief is strong enough. That would probably put me in the position trader category as I have a much longer time frame in mind.
I eliminate the fear of short-term fluctuations usually based on a thorough technical analysis, market sentiment, or basic supply/demand logic.
I feel identified with that way of investing, i try to take everything into account (fundamentals, trends, price levels, market environment...), i divide my investment into lots, and i make trading decisions every week, month, quarter, depending on volatility and volume. I think I am an investor, but open-minded and flexible.
