Long-term investments are taxed at rates lower than your income tax bracket.
Stability (β)
Long-term investments exhibit lower volatility compared to short-term investments.
Best Saving Option (π§°)
Long-term investments serve as a good savings option for post-retirement, future home, or college, education, etc.

π Benefits of Short Term Investment π
βββββββββββββ
π΄ Short-term investing offers flexibility to the investor as they do not need to wait for the security to mature in order to get cash. On the other hand, long-term investments can be liquidated by selling in the secondary market, but the investor earns lower profits.
π΄ Investors can make substantial profits in a very short amount of time.
π΄ It is less risky as money invested per transaction is substantially lower.

π What Is Day Trading ? π
βββββββββββββ
Day trading usually refers to the practice of purchasing and selling a security within a single trading day. While it can occur in any marketplace, it is most common in the foreign exchange (forex) and stock markets. Day traders are typically well-educated and well-funded. They use high amounts of leverage and short-term trading strategies to capitalize on small price movements that occur in highly liquid stocks or currencies. Day traders are attuned to events that cause short-term market moves. Trading based on the news is a popular technique. Scheduled announcements such as economic statistics, corporate earnings, or interest rates are subject to market expectations and market psychology. Markets react when those expectations are not met or are exceededβusually with sudden, significant movesβwhich can greatly benefit day traders.

π Scalping: This strategy attempts to make numerous small profits on small prices changes throughout the day.
π Range trading: This strategy primarily uses support and resistance levels to determine buy and sell decisions.
π News-based trading: This strategy typically seizes trading opportunities from the heightened volatility around news events.
π High-frequency trading (HFT): These strategies use sophisticated algorithms to exploit small or short-term market inefficiencies.

π *Advantages of Swing Trading* π
βββββββββββββ
π΄ It allows you to take advantage of the natural ebb and flow of markets. Financial markets never go in one direction forever, and by being able to take advantage of that, you can increase your returns as you in theory are going to be making money when the market rises over the next few days, and then make some when the market pulls back, as it will certainly do sooner or later.
π΄ By being in and out of the markets, you can identify more opportunities. If you look at any financial chart, you can see that there is almost always a definite long-term trend, but the market might not always be at a support or resistance area. By being in and out of the market in a matter of a few days, (typically) you can collect profits, and identify other markets that are setting up for other trades. This allows you to spread the risk around, and ties up a lot less capital instead of constantly having to come up with margin for new positions as you find new trades. By closing your first position, you will not have to deposit more money in your account to cover the second one.
π΄ Stop losses are typically smaller than longer term trades. The stop losses on a swing trade might be 100 pips based upon a 4 hour chart, while a stop loss on a weekly chart that is based upon the overall trend might have to be 400 pips. This allows for you to place larger sized positions instead of extremely low leveraged ones via the longer-term trends.
π΄ You have clear boundaries. The swing trader is a more technical based trader, and as such will normally have a specific area that they deem as being a sign the trade is working against them. Because of this, you know exactly when the trade isnβt working and can limit the damage a bad trade can do. Longer-term traders normally have to give a wide berth for the markets as they wait for them to βgo with the fundamentalsβ.

π Disadvantages of Swing Trading π
βββββββββββββ
π΄ You can get whipsawed often. Just because the market shows support or resistance at a specific area, doesnβt mean they will be respecting it today. Also, anytime you place a trade, you are risking money. Because of this, as a swing trader, you are risking it more often. Odds are you will have losses from time to time, no matter how good you are.
π΄ You have to be well-versed in technical analysis. While not necessarily a βdisadvantageβ, it means extra work. Almost anyone can tell the trend on a chart that is going from the lower left to the upper right over time, but someone trying to swing trade that chart needs to identify entry and exit points. This is something technical analysis can do, but you need to learn it first. This takes time.
π΄ It takes a different mindset than long term trading, and more nerves. While it isnβt necessarily scalping, the swing trader does run the risk of being βspooked out of the marketsβ as pullbacks in these smaller ranges appear to be more violent than to someone looking at a weekly chart. This is a psychological issue, and one that most traders will eventually have to deal with during their career.

π What Is Position Trading? π
βββββββββββββ
Position trading is a strategy where traders and investors aspire to capitalise on strong pricing trends through entering and remaining present in a market for an extensive term. A position trade is a commitment of both time and money, with the intention of realising a sizable gain from the sustained growth of an open position's value.

π Advantages Of Position Trading π
βββββββββββββ
The advantages of position trading include the following:
π΅ The negative factors have a minimum degree of influence β if a trader buys, for example, on the weekly chart, he wonβt be shocked about the daily price fluctuations. The position trader feels less stressed compared to the day trader.
π΅ The ability to βsqueeze outβ the maximum of a trend β position traders do not have to regularly open and close positions, thereby losing on spreads.
π΅ High profits β position trading allows you to trade with high leverage, as the probability of a mistake is much smaller than in conventional trading.
