High Frequency Ratio Trading is in my opinion the most profitable.

what happened to the dart throwing monkey method? Am I the only one still doing this?

THe most profitable will be longer term trading.. holding positions for weeks/months..

Less factor of commisions and slippage... especially when dealing with large base of capital.

If you trade equities the best would be holding many different positions based off funmdenetal and technical timing model, being well divesified.. and have less than 10% capital allocated per a trade..

Did you mean the most profitable for YOU, or for those who take the other side of your trade?

Account size very much decides trading styles. Am I right?

Swing trading in the direction of a trend: a systematic entry, and a somewhat discretionary exit. Not a single losing trade this year!
