Day Trading vs. Swing Trading: Which is Right for You?

Aayushi Jain

Day trading involves multiple trades within a single day, while swing trading holds positions for several days or weeks.

In day trading, positions are closed before the market closes, while swing trading aims for larger profits over longer timeframes.

Day traders focus on capturing small price movements throughout the day, while swing traders aim for bigger, less frequent price swings.

Day trading requires constant market monitoring and quick decision-making, while swing trading allows for periodic check-ins.

Day trading has lower overnight risk but higher volatility, while swing trading faces overnight risk with more time to react to changes.
