Brief Trading Survey

I wonder if you would all be good enough to assist me on a quick survey I am carrying out

It should not take more than a few minutes and it might be able to provide us with some useful information that then could help us all.

I would like to know from all traders - complete beginners to 10 yrs+ traders - scalpers - short term - intraday - swing - longer term - position traders etc etc etc the following -

1. Your average stop size - ie 10 pips 40 pips or what ever - (approx as you might use s& r's etc) ?

2. Do you use a stop - or if not do you hedge ?

3. Your average trade target - ie 15 -50 pips 75 pips 200+ pips ??

4. Do you use multi targets - ie target 1 - 30 pips say target 2 - 55 pips etc etc?

5. Do use a trailing stop and if so approx size trailing ie 10 pips - 25 pips or more ?

6. How many trades approx per day or per week or month?

7. Do you use more than one strategy and if so how many ?

Anything else you want to add to your answers - no problem.

Ideally I need over 100 replies - 200+ would be fantastic and without 30 replies it will not help.

Thank you for assisting - and i will give you a summary of survey results and how they compare to what many brokers say.

Regards

Peter.

PS - have a great week :-)

Comment by Peter jcp on June 26, 2012 at 7:14pm: Hi Pixta - I am hoping by the time I get back off my hols - I will have over 30 replies with the info requested. Nearly there - so in July I will do a full update and compare it to all the info I have been able to collect from brokers and other sources.

Hopefully the results might also assist many traders to review their present methods and improve their future results

Regards

Peter
