Description: Swing trading is a trading style that aims to capture short- and medium-term gains over an extended time frame. They lie somewhere between day trading and positions trading.
Requirements: Swing traders are more reliant on fundamental analysis than intraday or day traders. Although they might use technical tools and indicators for refining a trade’s entry point, traditional fundamentals, including seasonality, corporate earnings releases, and central banking policies, are key points in their trade selection and management.
Time Frame: Positions are held from days to weeks.
