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.
That is so hard as well, because you require a ton of experience first. The more experience you gain, the more you see how you trade and then you start to slowly understand what kind of trader you are, if you can do that , then you are going to earn a lot more money. Obviously it is not an easy thing to do, and it requires you to do a lot more.
But if you can do it, like gain experience, and actually start to make some money, then yeah it is going to be great for you without a doubt. Too many people miss that part, and they should not be looking at it like it is something that could generate so much. Reality is simple, you won't get that much, you just need to be careful and you should just focus on gaining more expertise to be better.
