  The four main types of forex traders include daytraders, swing traders, long term investors, and scalpers. Each type has its pros and cons, so you must do your research and choose wisely before starting to trade.
  
  Daytraders trade currencies based on technical indicators such as moving averages and Bollinger Bands.
  
  Swing traders make small bets on currency pairs based on short-term price movements.
  
  Scalpers make quick trades based on breaking news events.
  Long-term traders hold positions over a period of time before closing the trade and hopefully making a profit.
  
  Fundamental vs Technical
  
  All four fit into two main categories of forex traders: technical traders and fundamental traders. Technical traders focus on chart patterns and other technical indicators to predict future trends. Fundamental traders rely on fundamental data such as interest rates, inflation, and GDP growth to forecast future prices.
  
  The most common type of forex trader is the technical trader. These traders use charts and other technical indicators to identify potential trading opportunities. For example, if a currency pair has been trending higher for several days, then a technical trader might look at the price action and see whether there is a pattern forming that could signal a reversal. If the trend continues, the technical trader would buy the currency pair near the top of the trend and sell it near the bottom of the trend.
  
  Day Traders
  
  Day trading is a type of short-term trading where traders buy and sell currencies based on current market conditions. These traders usually trade currencies during the day, which means they must be able to access their accounts from anywhere. This is possible with the new trading platforms on the market today e.g. The MetaTrader 4 (MT4)
  
  Swing Traders
  
  A swing trader will buy and sell currencies based on short term price movements. They typically use technical analysis tools such as moving averages and oscillators to help them determine when to enter and exit positions.
  
  Scalpers
  
  Scalping is when you buy and sell currency pairs at very short intervals. This type of trading strategy is used to make quick profits by buying and selling currencies quickly. Scalping is not recommended for beginners as there is a significant risk in trading this way.
  
  Long-term
  
  Long-term traders work in the opposite way. They hold positions for weeks or months before making a profit. They use charts and news reports to determine whether a currency pair will rise or fall.
