I myself trade in the short term.

But doing a strategy of earning a little profit in the short term like this must be careful too, because repeating it continuously every day can make bored and accidentally careless to make mistakes that lead to large floating loss.
indeed trading in scalping is more risky because it uses large trading lots but with short pips and is done many times, if we are not experts, it is quite dangerous

Actually, both the short term and the long term risk level are the same, it will be risky if done with the wrong risk management and will be safe if done with the right and wise MM. Indeed, style long term for beginners is more advisable than short term or scalping, the reason is that the short term emphasizes discipline and emotional / psychological control in the long term, which is why long term is considered safer and more suitable for beginners.

Noobs  those  just  started  doing  the  forex  trading,  the  swing trading style  is  good  because  larger  time  frame  gives  you  a  clear  cut  picture  where  will  be  market  in  long run. if they trade on short term there is huge chance they might lose some money and become greed driven in this business.

yes i prefer swing trading because it is good for my style and im not the type who can always watch the chart so long time trading is my style and love it

for beginners I agree that they must use long term because of limited skills and also understand indicators, with small lot transactions they will be safe in trading.
but for pro traders, either short or long term depends on the conditions, because they trade flexibly, if there is an opportunity for a good entry position they will trade.

I think for all beginners, as good as trading with management money, the long term technique is balanced with enough margin to hold prolonged floting.

Talking short or long, it all depends on the traders' strategies themselves, because each trader is different.
but for beginners my advice is to use TF 4H, D1, and W1. by using small lots like 0.01-0.02.
because surely they don't know how to find the most pass point in a price
Thank you for your suggestion..its very helpfull for me to use bigger timeframe for trade analyst

sharing is beautiful. I'm also still a beginner and need more experience in this trading world.
time frame is very important in an analysis so that the potential for win (profit) is greater

if I prefer short-term trading because it will be more profitable because my capital is still minimal, it is too risky to trade in the long run

Short term is good, as long as it is not carried away by emotion which every day is demanded to get profit.
the most important thing is always to keep money management and also your emotions to trade sort terms because you always have to see the market every day.

honestly, I prefer to trade in the long term, because later we can benefit more than what we want and can train our patience. the important thing is to analyze the data correctly

analyzing the market is not easy, every candlestick movement will have a correction before passing the next trend.
