Any type of trader can be successful. Each trading type is different and typically approaches the market in a different manner. For example, fundamental trader types are usually going to be buy and hold investors since fundamentals are more aligned with the long-term performance of an asset. However, there are times when fundamental analysis can provide generous potential profits in a short time frame. If you are just starting out you might want to experiment with the different trading types to see which is best suited to your personality.
