The major principle of short-term trading can be put as follows - the less the duration of a trading operation is, the less money one can make.

Do you remember an investment that you once have taken part in? It is most likely that the term of a deal exceeded a day. As a general rule of life corresponds to the main rule of speculation: time needed for the profit might increase.

Prosperous Forex traders know that the market may move slightly in one minute, it may continue moving in 5 minutes and move even further in 60 minutes, and it is unknown to what extent it may move within a day or week. Short terms of trading limit potential of profit. That is why there are few examples of traders who have achieved a lot dealing with short-term trading.

The wrong arguments underlie the reason for working during a day.

They are as follows: without leaving deals open over nights, one avoids exposure to relevant news, and thus the risks are minimal.

First of all, your risk is under your control. You have a possibility to place stop loss levels, i.e. the levels where a position closes automatically. Even if the following morning the market opens with a gap longer than a stop, there are methods to cut down losses.

When you open a position with a stop, you may lose only previously determined amount of money. Irrespective of the fact when or how you open the deal, a stop minimizes the risk. Buying at the highest level of a new market or at the lowest level, you risk equally.

The rejection to move positions to overnight limits the time during which your investment could increase. Sometimes the market opens against you, but if we are on the right way, in many cases the market opens in your favour.

And what is more important, finishing our trade at the end of the day or, what is even worse, at a random moment, i.e. at 5- or 10-minute chart, we limit potential profit drastically. Remember that the difference between the losers and winners is that losers stick to their losses. The other distinction is that the winners keep their profitable positions, while the losers exit too early. It looks like the losers cannot stand being in a winning position, they are so happy to get some profit that they exit the game too early (usually during the day of entry).

You will never earn a lot of money until you learn to hold your winning positions. Meanwhile, the longer you hold them, the bigger profit potential you have. When sowing the field, successful farmers do not dig plants up every several minutes in order to look to what extent they have grown. They just let them grow.

The natural process of growing could teach traders a good lesson. The successful traders' work resembles the farmers' job - one needs time to grow profitable deals.

This viewpoint on trading timeframes truly speaks to me. I've discovered that attempting to extract profits from extremely brief trades frequently restricts my potential earnings. It takes patience to hold onto winning positions, and I'll admit that it can be tempting to sell early in order to lock in tiny gains. However, I understand that profits require time to grow, much like a farmer tends to crops. I can manage risk by using stop losses, so I don't mind leaving trades open all night. In my experience, having the self-control to let profitable trades run is what really separates winners from losers.

Man, this post nails it. Longer-term trading in Forex? Totally underrated, even though everyone’s chasing those “get rich quick” dopamine hits. The farming analogy—brilliant. Seriously, if you keep yanking up your seeds every day, what do you expect? A harvest? C’mon.

We’re stuck in this hyper-speed culture—gotta get that instant payout, right now, forget patience. But trading (especially Forex) hates impatience. People think they can “time” the market? Good luck. Markets are moody, unpredictable beasts. You blink and boom—either you’re up, or you’ve been thrown off the ride screaming.

It’s wild to me how folks freak out about holding trades overnight. Like, yes, surprise news can drop, inflation stats can spook everyone at 3am, and don’t even get me started on those random presidential tweets (remember those days?). But here’s the thing—risk isn’t some evil monster. Professional traders aren’t hiding under the blankets—they’re managing it. You got your stop-loss, your risk-to-reward planning, you keep your sizes in check. It’s not rocket science, just discipline.

Volatility? Not always the grim reaper people think. Sometimes it’s your ticket to the big leagues if you play it right. People love to jump out early because they can’t stand the heat—meanwhile, the real cash comes from letting those trends cook. Can’t make an omelet if you keep cracking open the eggs to check if they’re done, you know?

Psychology trips people up even harder. The irony—most people slice their winners short and babysit their losers until the bitter end. Makes zero sense. The winners are trying to grow, let ’em run! The losers? Cut them, don’t get sentimental.

Also, those 5-minute charts everyone loves? Pure chaos. False signals everywhere, just noise masquerading as opportunity. Zoom out a bit—look at the hourly, daily, weekly charts. The picture’s way clearer. That’s where the big moves happen.

End of the day, patience wins. Flashy, busy traders usually burn out or blow up. The ones who stick around? They’re patient, calculated, not scared to wait. Like farmers—they don’t dig up the crop every morning to see what’s growing. They trust the process. And that, my friend, is how you actually feast in Forex.
