#TradingTypes101 introduces beginners to the main trading styles in the financial markets. The four most common types are scalping, day trading, swing trading, and position trading. Scalpers make quick trades to profit from small price changes, often within minutes. Day traders open and close positions within a single trading day. Swing traders hold positions for days or weeks, aiming to capture short- to medium-term trends. Position traders take a long-term approach, holding assets for months or years. Each style requires different strategies, risk tolerance, and time commitment. Understanding your goals helps determine which type suits you best.
