Swing Trading
Swing trading is a style of trading that attempts to capture gains in a stock or any financial instrument over a period of a few days to several weeks. This is a general time frame, as some trades may last longer than a couple of months, yet the trader may still consider them swing trades. In either case, swing trading is the process of identifying where an asset's price is likely to move next, entering a position, and then capturing a chunk of the profit if that move materializes.
Swing traders primarily use technical analysis to look for trading opportunities.
These traders may utilize fundamental analysis in addition to analyzing price trends and patterns.
