#SwingTradingStrategy

There are a lot of different swing trading strategies, so we decided to cover a couple of our favorites that are easy to understand and trade.

Introduction

Swing trading is generally defined as a short-term trade that lasts more than a day and less than a month. While day traders typically seek to capture a piece of a more significant movement, swing traders try to capture an entire leg or swing up/down.

Pros and Cons of Swing Trading

Pros

Takes Less Time

Swing traders can achieve reasonably similar returns to day traders in less time. Because their trades take days to develop, they are not required to sit at their screens, watching every tick go by.

Day traders, on the other hand, have to continuously monitor their trades as well as other markets to look for opportunities. Day traders require more labor per dollar earned and likely deal with more mental stress.
