Trading refers to buying and selling financial instruments like stocks, commodities, or currencies. The main trading types include day trading, where trades are opened and closed within the same day; swing trading, which holds positions for days or weeks to capture market swings; scalping, involving quick, small profits on minor price changes; and position trading, focused on long-term trends. Each type suits different risk levels and time commitments. Understanding market analysis—technical and fundamental—is essential. Success requires discipline, strategy, and risk management. Beginners should start with research, practice via demo accounts, and always manage losses to protect capital.
