Trading strategies

Swing trading

Swing trading seeks to capture a price move over several days to a few weeks.

Between day trading (one day) and investing (years), swing trading holds positions longer to ride a market "swing." It needs less screen time than day trading, but exposes you to overnight risk.

Example

You buy on a dip and hold the position for 8 days up to resistance: that is swing trading.
