Choosing Your Trading Style
Every successful trader has a style that fits their personality, schedule, and risk tolerance. The three main styles — scalping, day trading, and swing trading — differ primarily in holding time, profit targets, and the amount of screen time required. None is inherently better than the others; the best style is the one you can execute consistently.
Understanding the differences is the first step toward building a strategy that works for you. Below is a comparison to help you decide where to start.
