Frequently asked questions
What are the main types of trader?
Most traders fit one of four styles by holding period: scalpers hold for seconds to minutes, day traders are flat by the close, swing traders hold for days to weeks, and position traders or long-term investors hold for months to years. The right one depends mostly on your time and temperament.
Which trading style is best for someone with a full-time job?
Swing trading or long-term investing usually fits best, because the decisions can be made in the evening or at the weekend and nothing needs watching during work hours. Scalping and day trading need you free while the market is open.
Is the trader type quiz free?
Yes. All 8 questions and your trader type are free. The first 3 questions are open straight away; an email shows your full result and adds you to Inside the Trade, RB Trading's free newsletter. Unsubscribe in one click.
Is this financial advice?
No. The quiz is educational only. It suggests a style that suits your time and temperament, not what to buy or sell, and trading involves real risk of loss.
