Swing trading strategies:
Swing trading aims to capture short-to-medium-term price movements ("swings") within a larger trend, typically holding positions for a few days to several weeks. Strategies often involve identifying oversold/overbought conditions using technical indicators like RSI or Stochastic Oscillator, spotting breakouts from consolidation patterns (e.g., triangles, flags), or trading pullbacks to key support/resistance levels or moving averages. Traders look for the confluence of indicators and chart patterns. Risk management is crucial, with defined stop-losses and profit targets to capitalize on volatility while limiting potential losses. The goal is to profit from a portion of a trend, not its entirety.
