Trading basics
Swing trading
Also known as: swing trade
Swing trading aims to capture multi-day to multi-week moves, holding positions through several sessions.
Swing traders use higher timeframes and tolerate overnight risk in exchange for larger moves and less screen time than day traders. Market structure, support/resistance and trend tools are common building blocks.
