There are 4 types of trading: scalping, day trading, trend trading, and position trading.

The duration of the trade determines the difference between the styles. Scalping trades are held for just a few seconds or at most a few minutes. Day trades last from a few seconds to a few hours. Scalpers can be held as hostages for a few days. Position trades are held for a duration of a few days to a few years.
