let's get straight to it, what they are and what types of trading exist:
The types of trading can be classified mainly according to the duration for which positions are held, with the most common being: scalping (very short term), day trading (short term), swing trading (medium term), and position trading (long term).
Additionally, they can be classified by strategy, such as algorithmic trading, news trading, trend trading, and range trading.
Types of trading by duration:
Scalping:
Very short-term operations (seconds or minutes), seeking small price fluctuations.
Day trading:
Operations that are opened and closed on the same day, taking advantage of fluctuations during the trading session.
Swing trading:
Operations that last several days or weeks, seeking more significant movements in prices.
Position trading:
Operations held for months or even years, based on the long-term evolution of an asset.
