12 minWhat is Swing Trading?
Swing trading aims to capture a portion of a move that unfolds over several days to a few weeks, sitting between intraday trading and long-term investing.
Key points
- Typical holding period: 2 days to a few weeks
- Relies on price structure and momentum rather than business ownership
- Requires pre-defined exits because positions carry overnight risk
- Higher activity means costs, taxes and slippage matter more
