Swing trading is a type of trading that involves holding securities for a period of several days to a few weeks, in an attempt to profit from price changes or “swings” in the market. This strategy is based on the idea that short-term price movements (typically within a few days to a few weeks) are easier to predict than long-term movements. Swing traders use technical analysis and charting to identify securities that are likely to experience a significant price change, and they enter and exit trades based on their analysis of the market. Swing traders often hold their positions for several days to a few weeks, and they may also use stop-loss orders to limit their potential losses. Swing trading is considered less risky than day trading, but still carries a level of risk and is not suitable for everyone.
