Swing Trading
Definition
A trading style that holds positions for days to weeks, aiming to capture larger price moves and trends.
How It Works
Swing trading involves holding trades for multiple days or weeks to capture significant price movements. This requires firms that allow overnight and weekend holding.
Swing traders need wider stop-losses (which means smaller position sizes to stay within drawdown limits) and more patience. The advantage is less screen time and the ability to capture larger moves.
When choosing a prop firm for swing trading, verify: overnight holding allowed, weekend holding allowed, no minimum trading days that are too strict, and no mandatory daily trading requirements.
