How many trades is your best in one day?

[HansFX]

Yes, exactly.
Everybody can have great trading times, when everything goes in your way.
But the reality is about to keep your trading and account in profit even in bad days.
Market gives money, but as well takes, so be prepared to take action as well as wait for opportunity.

Yes, i Agree.
Most of the time i wait.

Yeah and its not easy wait. I think that it is the hardest thing in trading, just wait and be prepared.

Hi FTtrader,

yes, you are right. It is not easy. Especially i see it with younger generation, they have all the time mobiles in their hands.
And they are not able to be deeply focused.

Spot on.

That constant ping of notifications and the habit of passive scrolling completely destroys the kind of cognitive endurance trading demands.

When people look at high-frequency scalping, they usually fixate on the sheer number of executions. Depending on market volatility and the session, taking anywhere from 20 to 50+ trades a day is completely normal for an active scalper. But people often misunderstand what that looks like in practice:

High Frequency $\neq$ Mindless Tapping: Managing that many positions doesn't mean throwing trades at the wall to see what sticks. It requires a clinical, mechanical routine built strictly on real-time price action.

The Focus Cost: Operating at that tempo requires absolute, uninterrupted immersion. You cannot trade like that with a phone in one hand and social media feeds distracting you in the other. One second of lost focus during a fast-moving session is all it takes to miss a structural shift or mismanage risk.

Mental Stamina: True scalping is an endurance sport. By the end of a heavy London-New York overlap, the mental fatigue is real precisely because every single micro-decision requires 100% of your cognitive bandwidth.

If younger traders want to survive high-turnover strategies, they first have to learn how to lock out the noise and sit still in front of the charts.How many entries are you typically averaging in a standard session these days?
