Trading Strategies

Swing Trading

Holding trades for several days to weeks to capture price swings.

Full Definition

Swing trading aims to capture medium-term price movements over days to weeks. Swing traders use technical analysis to identify potential swing points and ride trends between support and resistance. This approach requires less screen time than day trading but involves overnight risk. Swing trading suits those who cannot watch markets constantly.
