#MyTradingStyle When describing "My Trading Style," it's helpful to consider several key aspects that define how you approach the markets. These generally fall into a few main categories:
1. Time Horizon / Holding Period:
* Scalping: This is the shortest-term style, holding trades for mere seconds to minutes, aiming to profit from very small price movements. Scalpers make a high volume of trades.
* Day Trading (Intraday Trading): Trades are opened and closed within the same trading day, avoiding overnight risk. Day traders capitalize on short-term price fluctuations and intraday trends.
* Swing Trading: Positions are held for a few days to several weeks, aiming to capture larger "swings" or price movements within an uptrend or downtrend. This style is often considered medium-term.
