Trading styles
4 guides in Finabase Learn
- Day Trading Buying and selling securities within the same trading day, closing all positions before the market closes.
- Day trading vs swing trading vs position trading compared How day, swing and position trading differ in holding period, time, costs, taxes and US rules, with what the research says about day-trader results.
- Swing trading A trading style that holds positions for a few days to a few weeks to capture one price swing, sitting between day trading and longer-term investing.
- Timeframe The period each bar or candle on a chart represents, from one minute to one month, and by extension the horizon a trade is meant to play out over.
Educational content, not investment advice. Finabase Learn explains how markets and tools work. It does not recommend any security or strategy, and examples are for illustration only. Investing involves risk, including the loss of principal. Rules and figures are for the United States unless stated and can change — check the cited source before you act.
