Chapter 2: Types of Trading
Trading is not “one size fits all.” Every trader has their own style depending on time, risk tolerance, and goals. Here are the most common types:
Day Trading
Positions opened and closed within the same day.
Focuses on short-term price moves.
Requires active monitoring and quick decisions.
Swing Trading
Positions held for days or weeks.
Traders ride medium-term trends.
Less stress than day trading but still requires analysis.
Scalping
Ultra-short-term trading, sometimes seconds or minutes.
Small profits repeated many times a day.
Needs precision, speed, and discipline.
Position Trading (Investing)
Long-term approach, holding for months or years.
Based on fundamental analysis and market trends.
Lower stress, suitable for those who don’t trade daily.
