#TradingTypes101
The main types of cryptocurrency traders are:
1. **Day Trader** – Trades within the same day, taking advantage of volatility to profit from short movements, without holding positions overnight.
2. **Swing Trader** – Holds positions for days or weeks, capturing medium-term trends using technical and fundamental analysis.
3. **Scalper** – Executes dozens of quick trades (minutes or seconds), profiting from small price variations and spreads.
4. **Position Trader** – Focuses on the long term (months/years), based on macroeconomic analysis and adoption of crypto assets.
5. **Arbitrageur** – Exploits price differences between exchanges or markets to profit without directional risk.
6. **Algo Trader** – Uses algorithms and bots to automate strategies based on data and market patterns.
Each type varies in risk, time, and complexity.
