Introduction to Stock Swing Trading
Swing trading is the intermediate way between day trading and trend or position trading. Swing traders hold stocks for comparatively longer period of time than day trading; from hours to weeks. Simply saying swing traders are not worried about time limits, they only look for opportunities for more profit.
Swing trading can be profitable for all types of stock traders. It is practiced mainly for large-cap and mid-cap stocks – as they are most actively traded and has swings between precise up and low prices. Swing trading can be practiced for both bull and bear markets if the trader is sure about the direct of market trend. Like trend trading the most difficult things in stock swing trading are finding suitable stocks and determining market direction. Most swing traders use EMA (exponential moving average) to figure out the baselines for trading.
Stock swing trading allows traders to maximize their profit by adjusting the time to go short. It enables a trader to take short-term profits in a market with frequent ups and downs and long-term profit in a market with stabilized trend. But swing trading can be also risky if the trader misunderstands the market. Trading on leverage also can cause problems.
