What kind of trader are you?

You thrive on speed and action. Scalpers take many small trades a day, aiming to capture tiny moves with tight risk. It rewards focus, fast decisions, and strict discipline, and it punishes hesitation and high trading costs.

You like having a clean slate every morning. Day traders work intraday trends, breakouts, and key levels, then close everything before the market shuts. It needs real screen time and a clear plan, but your risk never sits through an overnight gap.

You want to capture meaningful moves without living in front of a screen. Swing traders ride multi-day trends and pullbacks, using daily charts, patterns, and levels. It fits around a job and suits people who can plan trades in the evening and let them work.

You think in trends and themes, not ticks. Position traders hold for weeks or months, combining a fundamental view with technical timing on weekly charts. Fewer, larger-conviction trades, with wide stops sized to match.

You'd rather own great businesses or the whole market and let compounding do the work. Long-term investors focus on quality, diversification, and consistency, and mostly ignore day-to-day noise. Historically, it's the approach most people end up best served by.
