#TradingTypes101
Trading is the act of buying and selling in financial markets, such as stocks or currencies, to earn a profit based on price fluctuations. There are four main types of trading:
1. Scalping – This involves making quick trades within minutes, aiming for small profits repeatedly throughout the day.
2. Day Trading – Traders buy and sell within the same day, closing all positions before the market closes to avoid overnight risks.
3. Swing Trading – Positions are held for several days to weeks, targeting larger price movements based on market trends.
4. Position Trading – This long-term strategy involves holding trades for months or even years, based on confidence in the market's overall direction.
Each trading type depends on the trader’s time commitment, risk management, and market understanding.
