Swing trading and day trading are distinct styles catering to different strategies and time commitments. Swing traders hold positions for days to weeks, analyzing daily or weekly charts to capture short-to-medium-term price movements. They face overnight risks but can achieve larger gains through strategies like trend following, reversal trading, and breakouts. Conversely, day traders open and close trades within a single day, focusing on intraday volatility with strategies like scalping, momentum, and range trading. The main differences lie in time commitment, risk exposure, and profit potential, influencing a trader’s choice based on their goals and preferences.
