#TradingTypes101 Welcome to Trading 101! If you thought financial markets were boring, get ready for an adventure full of adrenaline (and maybe a little humor).
Types of Trading: How fast do you dare to play?
Scalping: Ultra-fast trades, seconds or minutes. Like a financial sniper, looking for small frequent gains.
Day Trading: You open and close positions on the same day. The financial soap opera in 24 hours.
Swing Trading: You hold positions for days or weeks. You capture intermediate trends, without daily pressure.
Position Trading: Weeks, months, or years. For the patient who plants a tree and waits for the fruit.
Other styles and key concepts
You can speculate with stocks, currencies (Forex), indices, or commodities (gold, oil).
Strategies like news-based trading or algorithmic trading allow you to play with information or let machines do the work.
Essential concepts include going short (betting that the price will go down) and leverage (using borrowed funds, be careful!).
Candlesticks and trend lines are your tools to decipher the market.
In summary, Trading 101 introduces you to the basic styles and concepts to understand how to speculate in the markets, from fleeting trades to long-term investments. Ready for action?
