Swing trading is a short-term and medium-term trading strategy aimed at capturing price movements over a few days to weeks. Traders use technical analysis, chart patterns, and market trends to identify entry and exit points, aiming to profit from price 'swings'. Unlike day trading, swing trading does not require constant monitoring, making it more flexible for part-time traders. Key indicators include moving averages, RSI, MACD, and support/resistance levels. Risk management is crucial—traders often use stop-loss orders to limit potential losses. Swing trading works best in markets with clear trends and moderate volatility, offering opportunities for stable profits with disciplined execution.
