This time we talk about ” Swing Trading “, a technique useful for beginners but also for experienced traders.
What is Swing Trading?
With this technique the trader tries to capture the market swings as the price of the asset fluctuates over short, intermediate or long-term time intervals. Compared to “Day Trading”, in swing trading operations can be opened and closed within a limited period of time.
