Depends on your trading time, also we need to consider when is your free time to make a trade depends if you are going for a full time trader or just a partime trader also considering the risk you are willing to put in, if you are busy for a whole day having a day trade is good because you can now make mark with the market for a 4H to upper time frame movement which is you can read those takes time to analyze next is if you are a short term trader and have a lot of time to watch the market go for a lower time frames which is more volatile and active. Now depends on your capital you are going to make a risk if its for an 30% or more and confidence to trade of course.
Essentially, we must first identify our own type of trader. Only then can we adapt to our circumstances once we truly understand ourselves. The reason is, some people don't even know themselves. Logically, how can we possibly trade so well when we don't know how to adapt to our own circumstances?
Short-term or long-term isn't the issue. The problem is when we refuse to learn and focus on profit, ignoring all the potential risks. Don't think about making quick profits, even if that's normal. It's better to slowly earn smaller profits, but be more consistent in achieving them.
