Two major trading styles - Day-Trading and Swing-Trading.

In the following we separate between day-trading and swing-trading. Of course, there are a few more trading styles but those two types build the foundation for most trading styles.

Day-trading describes a trading style where the trader actively trades for several hours, usually on the lower time-frames and makes several trades in a day.

Swing-trading is the opposite, where the trader follows the higher time-frames, only has a few trades every week or month, rarely more than one a day and does not sit in front of the charts for several hours at a time.

The table below shows the differences between the two trading styles with regards to different characteristics and emotional concepts.
