When choosing a forex trading strategy, it helps to be aware of what type of trader you are and what types of strategies exist. However, it is not as simple as selecting a single trading strategy, as traders can choose to employ a single strategy or combine several.
Firstly, you must define your criteria for selecting a forex trading strategy. You should analyse factors that can help narrow down your search such as:
-
How much time you can set aside to trading forex
-
What currency pairs you want to focus on
-
The size of your position

Forex scalping strategy
Forex traders who prefer short-term trades held for just minutes, or those who try to capture multiple price movements, would prefer scalping. Forex scalping focuses on accumulating these small but frequent profits as well as trying to limit any losses. These short-term trades would involve price movements of just a few pips, but combined with high leverage, a trader can still run the risk of significant losses.
