What type of trader are you?
Cool thread. I like the description.
My Answer is Automated Scalping ) !

I recently went from a scalper to automated, but not automated scalping. I mostly base my trades off of specific times that I have backtested that are at least 70% successful with a profit factor minimum of 2.
I trade price action only charts on the daily and 4hr and I mainly trade trends but I also trade ranging markets. Generally holding for 1 to 3 days on average.
I also trade price action on the higher time frames, seems to work well for me.

Hello, what timeframes do you trade with?
Nice to see a poll like this. 
I trade most of the time with EA scalpers and every now and then I open a short term trade.
