Day Trading Vs Swing Trading
Day trading and swing trading are the two popular short-trading methods. So which one is beneficial for you? It depends on your style of trading, number of trading and amount & leverage with which you trade. Below is a general comparative study between day trading and swing trading.
As day trading requires the closing of positions by end of the day, the traders are relaxed from overnight risk. This can increase your chance to profit. Day trading also offers higher leverage (up to 4:1) offering a trader more freedom and advantages in executing trades. But day trading requires sufficient concentration and the trader usually do not can maintain more than one or two open positions. Day trading also gives you only a little time to react to the market.
On the other hand swing trading involves overnight risk, which can cost you high. Although here the leverage is more than that of position trading (up to 2:1), the trader cannot make that much use of it compared to day trading. A swing trader gets more time to execute a trade and can maintain two or more positions; but making swing trading a position trading can eat up the margin.
