#MyTradingStyle There are various types of trading, which are primarily differentiated by the time frame in which operations are conducted. The most common are scalping, day trading, swing trading, and position trading. Additionally, they can be distinguished by specific strategies such as high-frequency trading or algorithmic trading.
Types of trading according to the time frame:
Scalping:
Very short-term operations, lasting seconds or minutes, seeking small fluctuations in prices.
Day trading:
Operations that are opened and closed within the same day, without leaving positions open from one day to the next.
Swing trading:
Operations lasting from a few days to a few weeks, taking advantage of broader price movements.
Position trading:
Long-term operations that can last weeks, months, or even years, seeking more general trends.
Other types of trading:
High-frequency trading (HFT):
Uses complex algorithms to conduct a large number of operations in fractions of a second, taking advantage of small price differences.
Algorithmic trading:
Similar to HFT, but can operate over longer time frames and use more sophisticated algorithms.
News trading:
Based on the market's reaction to the release of news, seeking to capitalize on sharp movements.
