Short Term Trading in Volatile Markets

Short term trading is ideal for volatile and nervous markets. The good thing about short term trading is that drawdowns can be limited in time as the equity curve responds more quickly to short term moves. Short term trading is not by definition less risky, however the rewards are good if you can master it. Short term trading is defined as 1 week to 3 months. Short term trading is not an amateur's game and is usually not a road to quick riches, but hang in there, you will get it.

As Ed Seykota says "People always get what they want out of the markets. If you want to win, you will. However if you want to loose, you will."

Short term trading is inherently win or lose.
