  1. Just curious, when you guys discuss various topics of trading in this section, do you mean day trading only?

    I been trading for 5+ years now but on monthly timeframe and got into options this year, again trading on monthly. Is there a specifc name for these type of traders?

    Also in most big investment banks, when they say traders do they mean day traders?

    /confused
     
  2. Just one view:

    day trader --- doesn't hold thru eod
    swing trader --- usually a few days
    position trader --- longer up to your sort of timeframes


    and many variations on the theme (scalpers, daily swing etc etc).

    Vs investor who doesn't have an exit plan on entry.

    j/k! thanks for the explanation!
