Some things to consider with long term trades are financing, or swap charges from your broker. You don’t want to hold on to a position for months if it’s costing you $1-2 per day, that adds up and takes from your profits. Find pairs the cost little to nothing. Some pairs will even pay you, this is called a ‘carry trade’ but only really works if price is in your favour.
Long term trades require smaller position sizes with much wider stops due to volatility. I would suggest looking at monthly and weekly charts, and following an established trend, or mapping out obvious support and resistance zones.
