I think that beginners would go for a short term, but profissionals usually prefer long term.

Also who have a small amount to invest will be afraid so they would prefer the short term as well.

After a lot of research, I found that position trading is popular style for most of the Big Names in trading. They keep their positions open for months and their earning is very consistent. 

The problem is most of us do not have enough stamina to wait for long period of time. We want to get money as soon as possible which eventually leads to something similar to scalping.

i prefer short term trading because i think it is more profitable and also it does not require a big capital and has lower risk than long term trading

What you mean by making large amount of profit? The profit is not related to long term or short term and it is all related to the method of your trading and money management.

i think long term trading follow the different types of financial institute and short time trading follow individual people so i think it is a different issue about this trading so long and short two are best in different way.

I like trading all types. So I am not really one-kind pony thing. I feel if we want to be successful, it’s vital that we do it through proper plans and method. I feel comfortable with FreshForex using their top notch benefits. Whether from their incredibly sharp spread or fast execution of trades. I just love it all.
