Swing trading<\/strong> refers to the medium-term trading style that is used by forex traders who try to profit from price swings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is trading style requires patience to hold your trades for several days at a time. Swing trading stands between two other popular trading styles: day trading<\/a> y position trading<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swing traders identify a possible trend and then hold the trade(s) for a period of time, from a minimum of two days to several weeks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is ideal for those who can\u2019t monitor their charts throughout the day but can dedicate a couple of hours analyzing the market every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Day<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Swing trading is best suited for those who have full-time jobs or school but have enough free time to stay up-to-date with what is going on in the global economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swing trading strategies employ fundamental or technical analysis in order to determine whether or not a particular currency pair might go up or down in price in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swing trading attempts to identify \u201cswings\u201d within a medium-term trend and enter only when there seems to be a high probability of winning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in an uptrend, you aim to buy (go long) at \u201cswing lows.<\/strong>\u201d And conversely, sell (go short) at \u201cswing highs<\/strong>\u201d to take advantage of temporary countertrends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Swing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Because trades last much longer than one day, larger stop losses are required to weather volatility<\/strong>, and a forex trader must adapt that to their money management plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will most likely see trades go against you during the holding time since there can be many fluctuations in the price during the shorter time frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important that you are able to remain calm during these times and trust in your analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since trades usually have larger targets, spreads won\u2019t have as much of an impact on your overall profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, trading pairs with larger spreads and lower liquidity are acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Swing Trading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How do you swing trade?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several different trading strategies often used by swing traders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the four most popular: reversal<\/strong>, retroceso<\/strong> (or pullback), breakouts<\/strong>, y breakdowns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reversal Trading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reversal trading relies on a change in price momentum. A reversal<\/strong> is a change in the trend direction of an asset\u2019s price. For example, when an upward trend loses momentum and the price starts to move downwards. A reversal can be positive or negative (or bullish or bearish).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retracement Trading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Retracement (or pullback) trading involves looking for a price to temporarily<\/em> reverse within a larger trend. Price temporarily retraces to an earlier price point and then continues to move in the same direction later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reversals are sometimes hard to predict and to tell apart from short-term pullbacks. While a reversal denotes a change in trend, a pullback is a shorter-term \u201cmini reversal\u201d within an existing trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of a retracement (or pullback) as a \u201cminor countertrend within the major trend\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it\u2019s a retracement, price moving in against the primary trend should be temporary<\/em> and relatively brief<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reversals always start as potential pullbacks.<\/strong> The challenge is to know whether it is only a pullback or an actual trend reversal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakout Trading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Breakout trading is an approach where you take a position on the early side of an UPTREND, and looking for the price to\u201cfuga<\/strong>\u201d. You enter into a position as soon as price breaks a key level of RESISTANCE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakdown Strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A breakdown strategy is the opposite of a breakout strategy.  You take a position on the early side of a DOWNTREND and looking for price to\u201cbreakdown<\/strong>\u201d (also known as a downside breakout). You enter into a position as soon as price breaks a key level of SUPPORT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • You are patient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • You are able to remain calm when trades move against you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • You like fast-paced, action-packed trading.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • You are impatient and like to know whether you are right or wrong immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • You get sweaty and anxious when trades go against you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • You can\u2019t spend a couple of hours every day analyzing the markets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • You can\u2019t give up your World of Warcraft raiding sessions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      If you have a full-time job but enjoy trading on the side, then swing trading might be more your style!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
