#TradingTypes101 In the world of investing, understanding your trading style is the key to success. There are three main types: Scalper – trading in a few minutes for small profits, Day Trader – buying and selling within the day, not holding positions overnight, and Swing Trader – holding positions for several days to weeks, capitalizing on medium-term fluctuations. Finally, there is Position Trader – long-term investing, based on fundamental analysis. Each style has its own advantages and disadvantages. Choose the style that suits you.
