Active traders often group themselves into two camps: day traders or swing traders. Both seek to profit from short-term price movements as opposed to holding assets for long-term growth. The primary difference in the trading strategies is that day traders make many trades during a day, while swing traders trade an asset over a longer time frame, typically two days to a few weeks. Because we get so many questions from traders about which style is better, we thought we would talk about the pros and cons of day trading vs. swing trading.
