π Disadvantages Of Position Trading π
βββββββββββββ
The disadvantages of position trading include the following:
π΅ The need for a high deposit β Position trading with the minimum amount of funds is simply irrelevant. It is likely that the strong price fluctuations will lose everything.
π΅ Swap β The swap is a commission paid to the broker for the transfer of the trade to the next day. If the position is open for a long period, the swaps can accumulate a large amount.
π΅ Risk β The risk is much lower when compared to day-trading or swing trading, but if a mistake is made, it will likely be fatal. If a trader goes against the trend, he will lose not only his deposit, but also the time in which he could generate a profit β donβt forget, we are speaking about months.

π What Is Momentum Trading? π
βββββββββββββ
Momentum trading is the practice of buying and selling assets according to the recent strength of price trends. It is based on the idea that if there is enough force behind a price move, it will continue to move in the same direction.
When an asset reaches a higher price, it usually attracts more attention from traders and investors, which pushes the market price even higher. This continues until a large number of sellers enter the market β for example, when an unforeseen event causes them to rethink the assetβs price. Once enough sellers are in the market, the momentum changes direction and will force an assetβs price lower.

π Advantages Of Momentum Trading π
βββββββββββββ
Momentum trading can result in significant profits for the investor with the right personality, someone who can deal with the associated risks while committing to the momentum trading strategy. Advantages can include:
π΅ High-Profit Potential in a Short Period of Time: If a stock you purchase grows from $25 to $37.50 due to an overly positive analyst report, you can sell that stock at a profit of 50% before the price corrects itself.
π΅ Taking Advantage of the Marketβs Volatility: Momentum trading is all about capitalizing on the volatility of market trends, looking for stocks that are on their way up to buy and selling them before the prices start decreasing.
π΅ Taking Advantage of Other Investorβs Emotional Decisions: As opposed to being controlled by an emotional response like many traders, capitalize on the changing prices resulting from emotional traders.

π Disadvantages Of Momentum Trading π
βββββββββββββ
π΅ High Turnover: Fees associated with higher stock turnover can be expensive. While low-cost brokers are starting to put an end to the high fees problem, it continues to be a significant concern for momentum traders just starting.
π΅ Time-Intensive: Momentum trading requires traders to monitor the details of the market daily, sometimes even hourly. Since the stocks they are dealing with will crest and decrease momentum again, investors need to be able to get in and out early. This requires them to watch all updates, seeing if any negative news updates may spook other investors.
π΅ Market Sensitivity: Momentum trading is best in a bull market as traders are likely to herd more than in a bear market where the profit margin on momentum trading decreases along with increased caution among investors.
