swing trade

Brief position holding

A swing trade is a stock market position held for days to weeks, aiming to capture price movements within a trend.

It sits between day trading (same-day) and long-term investing (months to years).

Swing traders analyze charts and momentum to time entries and exits: I held that swing trade for about a week before taking profits.
