What is Swing Trading?
Swing trading holds positions for several days to a few weeks, aiming to capture a larger move than a single day offers. It involves fewer trades than day trading and less screen time, but positions stay open overnight and over weekends, so they carry gap risk. Decisions are usually based on the daily or multi-hour timeframe.
Why Swing Trading matters
Swing trading sits between day trading and long-term investing, so knowing it helps you match a style to your available time.
