Understanding the Different Between Swing Trading and Day Trading

There are advantages and risks to both swing and day trading. You can determine which to practice based on the current market.

Swing Trading v. Day Trading

Swing:
-Potential to make more money than with day trading
-Going across multiple days (e.g. a 100 day period)
-You do have the risk of holding positions overnight; you also have the risk of news, politics, etc
-Gives you more room to grow than with day trading
-Requires more research about the company

Day:
-Market opens at 9:30am
-You purchase stock at 10:20am
-You have bought and sold stock and now own nothing at 3:00pm
-You are trading on the day's gain (or losses)
-Everything is done withing one day
-Advantages: no risk behind holding positions overnight, news events (i.e. earthquake), etc
-Usually stocks will not jump very high in one day unless they are higher priced shares

You prefer Swing Trading, but in this video you did a great job staying neutral when explaining the pros and cons of each. Thank you for that. Great video.

"If youre looking for bigger money go swing trading" you know, I actually wanted less money, thank you for clarifying.

Day trading is quick and dirty like a one night stand 😂 This guy is great 🤭 I'll never forget the definition ☺️

[fourdeltaconstruction]

haha "its very quick & dirty, its like a one night stand... its in & out"

[grow-your-mindset-now]

Guys, swing trading is the case :) Sasha knows what he is talking! I was scalping in the past and i am sick of it. It is not going to work long term. It is not a nice place to stick around for long time, it is stressful.... Trading daily and weekly timeframe is real freedom :) Thanks Sasha!

[refusefntk]

I like his teaching it's interesting,
informative and not too technical

[sandilevamdlalose]

What I love about swing trading is longer the time frame the stronger the signal

[Monk_Mode_Master]

best video I've watched so far on the comparison. quick and direct, with relatable examples. great job my man

[interests]

thanks for explanation..which is swing trader is over more days and day trade is in a day or not even a day. I study countless videos, interviews on swing trading and experts like yourself, always say how the big money is made in swing trading. From my experience, the markets are very difficult to trade. For example, in an uptrend..as swing trader or trend trader, we expect it to go up, so we buy. But then there could be a pullback, you get stopped out, ok you increase your stop. But then there is more risk..and when it goes up, we may not know where to place the stop, maybe too close, get stopped out..to far, it pulls back or even the stock reverses..it is soo hard to time it. Not saying that people haven't made money trading the markets, but it is like gambling. So what am saying, when trading we predict, but is like based on nothing, not fundamentals because trading is usually in a day or over a number of days..so mostly fundamentals won't matter that much. Of course there are probably many ways to trade the markets, what I am saying is swing trading as in trend trading has never worked for me. I can only guess probably day trading is in a way similar in the way it is based on nothing usually. Uptrend, you buy, but based on what. yeah it's going up. Doesn't mean it can't pullback or reverse..gambling..lol Just my opinion and experience..

"One night stand" lol awesome and helpful video!

[charronfamilyconnect]

These days I feel like becoming a day trader. There is just too much uncertainty with this Corona Virus Pandemic!

[boethius]

So being a swinger versus a one-night stand?

[gabrielhernandez]

as a trader what are the things you look at before buying stocks how long do you usually study a stock before you make a move

[ArturoGarzaID]

You have to be willing to risk a lot of capital to swing trade. Enough so that when a stock moves .20-.25 cents you're up $350-$450 dollars or more and you can get out with some profit. Easily doable with strong stocks. Patience is the key.

Just starting trading today, great video my friend. Regards from Indonesia 🙏🇮🇩

[Intellectualcuriocity]

Always invest surplus the one not required, initially go for swing trade, things go bad, hold it or have stop loss .... key is surplus amount in your bank.. beginner advise ...

[memomema]

I like your example: day trading "one night stand' ;)

[felipe]

swing trading is not opposite to day trading, its opposite to scalping
scalping is entering and exiting on the same candle, and swing trading is buying and selling from swing point to swing point, it can be done intraday

[hotmixpaving]

Why this was very helpful I guess I’m a swing trader I thought I was a day trader

[tomm]

Nice video Sasha. I was wondering why you didn't mention something SUPER important? That is the fact that if your account is less than $25K you are limited to I think 5 day trades in a week or is it two weeks? Either way, getting stopped out in the same day is considered a day trade. That can get one in trouble with too many day trades.
