swing trading

Swing trading is a sub-set of trading strategies that falls between day-trading and (long term) investing. As with all speculation, it involves considerable risk.

Although the most popular trading vehicle for swing trading is common stocks, it applies equally to bonds, futures, commodities, options, etc.

Most, if not all, swing trading is based primarily on technical analysis rather than fundamental analysis of the underlying security. This is because swing trading takes place within a short enough time scale that does not allow for fundamental variables to exert a significant effect on security prices.

Today, you can find many bloggers who not only share their trades but the underlying strategies as well.
