#TradingTypes101

Types of trading:

1. High-frequency trading – trades last a fraction of a second.

2. Scalping. The time of holding a position is calculated in seconds and several minutes.

3. Day trading. This type of trading is also called intraday trading, or trading in the middle. As the name implies, all transactions are carried out within one trading session. Positions are held for no longer than the duration of the trading session. The trader goes home without having any open trades.

4. Swing trading. The position is held for more than one day. Usually from several days to several months. There are no clear time frames here.

5. Medium-term trading. This method is for those traders who catch long fluctuations. Traders hold positions for many weeks and months.

6. Long-term trading. This type of trading on the principle of “buy and hold” is most suitable for the stock market. A striking example is one of the richest people on the planet, Warren Buffett.
