| Swing
Trading |
 |
A style of trading that attempts to capture gains in a stock over
a 1 to 4 day time period. By finding situations where a stock has
extraordinary potential to move in such a short time frame you must
act quickly.

This
is mainly used by at home and day traders. Large institutions trade
in sizes too big to move in and out of stocks quickly. This leaves
the 1-5 day time frame for the individual trader to exploit a stock
without the competition of major traders.
Swing traders us technical analysis to look for stocks with short-term
price momentum, not value stocks which may take many months (or longer)
to rise to greater valuations. |
