Know Your Risk Tolerance

Can you handle stress and fast losses?

Day trading = high risk. Position trading = slower, steadier.

Consider Your Capital

More capital = more flexibility.

Day traders often need bigger accounts. Swing/position trading = more budget-friendly.

Time Commitment

Can't stare at charts all day?

Then skip day trading. Swing/position trading = part-time friendly.

Match Your Personality

Fast-paced thinker?

Try scalping or day trading. More patient and analytical? Go with swing or position trading.

Experience Level

New trader?

Start with swing or position trades. Leave scalping to the pros—it’s fast and unforgiving.

Tools & Infrastructure

High-frequency trading

High-frequency trading = big tech setup. Casual trading? A reliable broker + charts are enough.

Costs Matter

Trades

Active styles = higher fees. Less frequent trades = lower cost, fewer headaches.

Define Your Goals

Vision

Quick gains or long-term growth? Your style should align with your financial vision.

The best trading style is the one you can stick with.

👉 Know yourself. Know your tools. Choose wisely.
