Swing trading is a stock or securities trading strategy that aims to capture gains over a period of a few days to several weeks, positioned between short-term day trading and long-term buy-and-hold investing. Traders use technical analysis, chart patterns, and momentum indicators to identify entry and exit points around short-term price swings. It appeals to individual investors who want to actively trade without monitoring markets constantly throughout the day.
