#TradingTypes101

There are several types of trading that cater to different goals, time frames, and risk levels:

1. Day Trading – Involves buying and selling assets within the same day. Positions are closed before the market closes. It requires quick decisions and constant monitoring.

2. Swing Trading – Traders hold positions for several days or weeks, aiming to profit from short- to medium-term trends. Less intense than day trading but still needs analysis.

3. Scalping – Very short-term trades, often lasting seconds to minutes. Traders aim for small profits from tiny price movements and do this many times a day.

4. Position Trading – Long-term strategy where trades are held for weeks to months. Focus is on long-term trends and less affected by short-term volatility.

5. Algorithmic Trading – Uses automated systems or bots based on set criteria. Often used by institutions, but individuals use it too.

6. Copy Trading – Involves mimicking trades of experienced traders. Good for beginners, but success depends on the copied trader’s skills.

Each type fits different personalities and risk appetites. Understanding these helps in choosing what aligns with your goals and time.
