What is Swing Trading?

  1. One definition is:

    Type of trading attempted by a failed day trader before a final blow out.

    Which mirrors the definition of a day trading:

    Type of trading attempted by a failed swing trader before a final blow out.

  3. Personally, I divide trading into two timeframes. Intraday trades,and swing trades.

    Swing trade in my own terminology is anything I hold overnight, doesn't matter if it is a two day trade or a six months trade. The length of the trade is determined by market conditions.
