Day trading involves opening and closing positions within the same trading day. This strategy works well for Kenyan traders during major market sessions (London and New York overlap: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM EAT).
Aim for 40-60 pips profit per day. With KES 100,000 account and 1:100 leverage, this translates to KES 4,000-6,000 daily potential profit.
Swing trading involves holding positions for 2-10 days, making it ideal for Kenyans with day jobs. You can analyze markets after work and place trades that work while you sleep.
Kenyan traders have an advantage in understanding local economic events that affect the KES. Combined with major global news, this creates profitable opportunities.
CBK announcements typically happen at 3:00 PM EAT. USD/KES can move 100+ pips within minutes. Always use tight stop-losses and limit position sizes during high-impact news.
