How many trades is your best in one day?

[FTtrader]

Hi Scalpers,

i would like to ask you, how many trades/scalps did you make per day at your best day?

I have personal record like 307 trades.

Take a care

But you know, it was day, when i predicted allmost every major move.

You ask me about the number of trades. I must tell you, I do not look at the "number" like a score in a game.

In the past, many years ago, I thought more trades meant more profit. I was wrong. I learned that it is not about how many trades you make, but about the quality of the trade. If the market is not giving a good setup, I sit. I wait. I do not trade just because I am bored or because I want to be "busy."

Because I am scalping, and I prefer the London session, my number can vary. On a good day in London, with high volume and clear moves, I might take 10, maybe 15 trades. But on a day where the market is messy or "noisy," I might only take 3 or 4.

The reason I stay with the London session is that the liquidity is good. It is a "cleaner" move for the scalping. I do not want to fight the market in a dead session.

You must be careful. Some traders see a "high number" of trades and think they are successful. No. If you trade 50 times a day, you are probably just giving your money to the broker in fees. It is better to wait for 5 perfect moves than to take 50 average ones.

Focus on the setup, not the quantity. The count is not important. The profit and the discipline—that is what matters.

Hans

Yeah i agree, in long run it is important to focus on quality not only quantity.

[PTScalper]

Yeah, quality of trades is most important.

But on another hand this is interesting statistic

[PTScalper]

IT shows how do you think about trading and what type of forex scalping do you use.

Exactly.
Be able to stay away from markets, when there is just noise.
And be able to act when there is opportunity.
