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.FTtrader wrote: Thu Aug 06, 2026 10:13 pm 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
Yeah i agree, in long run it is important to focus on quality not only quantity.HansFX wrote: Mon Aug 17, 2026 6:18 pmYou ask me about the number of trades. I must tell you, I do not look at the "number" like a score in a game.FTtrader wrote: Thu Aug 06, 2026 10:13 pm Hi Scalpers,

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

Be able to stay away from markets, when there is just noise.
And be able to act when there is opportunity.
Yes, i Agree.FTtrader wrote: Wed Aug 26, 2026 2:36 pmYes, 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.
Yeah and its not easy wait. I think that it is the hardest thing in trading, just wait and be prepared.HansFX wrote: Sun Aug 30, 2026 10:25 amYes, i Agree.FTtrader wrote: Wed Aug 26, 2026 2:36 pmYes, exactly.HansFX wrote: Sun Aug 23, 2026 12:41 pm
