A trading strategy is a systematic approach to buying and selling financial instruments in the market. It is based on a set of predefined rules and criteria that guide decision-making. Strategies can range from simple to complex and take into account various factors such as investment style, market capitalization, technical indicators, fundamental analysis, industry sector, portfolio diversification, time horizon, risk tolerance, leverage, tax implications, and more.
Day Trading
Day trading is perhaps the most recognized form of active trading. It involves buying and selling securities within the same trading day. Positions are closed before the market closes, and no trades are held overnight. This strategy relies on short-term market movements and requires constant monitoring.
Position Trading
Although often associated with a buy-and-hold approach, position trading can also be an active strategy when employed by experienced traders. It involves analyzing long-term charts—ranging from daily to monthly—to identify market trends. Trades can be held for several days, weeks, or even months, depending on the trend.
Swing Trading
Swing trading aims to capture gains from short- to medium-term price movements. Swing traders typically enter trades at the beginning of a new trend, often after a trend reversal. This approach relies on both technical and fundamental analysis, and positions are usually held longer than one day but shorter than position trades.
Scalping
Scalping is one of the fastest-paced trading strategies. Scalpers aim to take advantage of small price changes by exploiting bid-ask spreads caused by short-term imbalances in supply and demand. Rather than pursuing large moves, scalpers look for frequent, small profits and typically execute a high volume of trades with precise timing.
