As per Wikipedia the Swing trader or Swing trading is a speculative activity in financial markets where a tradable asset is held for between one to several days in an effort to profit from price changes or 'swings'.
A swing trading position is typically held longer than a day trading position, but shorter than buy and hold investment strategies that can be held for months or years. Profits can be sought by either buying an asset or short selling. Check our Swing trading tips and capture the breakout.
