Telling new traders to be patient and disciplined by only looking at charts a couple times per day makes trading seem a lot less glamorous. There are many ways you can trade the market. Many people trade with short-term strategy and many people like to go with plans that give them a long time to keep their trades open. There are many time frames in a forex chart that you can use to analyze the trend. One of the reasons newbie forex traders don’t do as well as they should is because they’re usually trading the wrong time frame for their personality.
