Fundamental analysis for swing trading
Fundamental analysis is a method of analysing securities by examining the underlying economic, financial and other qualitative and quantitative factors that could influence their value. This may involve keeping aware of the state of the economy, news releases regarding a particular security, analysing a company’s financial statements such as its quarterly earnings reports, and studying market conditions to determine a company’s intrinsic value and potential for future growth.
Technical analysis for swing trading
Technical analysis is a method of analysing price and volume data over specific time frames, to identify trends and forecast future price movements. It is a form of chart analysis that uses historical price data and various chart patterns to identify trends and make predictions about the future direction of markets.
Technical indicators are mathematical calculations that use historical price data and volume data to provide insight into the potential direction of a security. These indicators can be used to identify trends, gauge market sentiment, identify support and resistance levels and more. Examples of technical indicators include moving averages (MAs), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Bollinger Bands and stochastic oscillators.
Swing trading vs day trading
Like swing trading, day trading involves holding an asset for a short amount of time. However, with day trading the assets are held for less than a day; sometimes just a few hours or even minutes. Day trading is considered one of the most speculative strategies as traders attempt to profit from very short-term movements in the stock market, selling at a predetermined price to hedge against the risk of any counter moves that might happen during out-of-hours trade. Each trading strategy has its advantages and disadvantages. On a surface level, day trading could have a higher chance for gains as day traders would make a higher number of trades in the same time frame as swing traders. However, in actuality, factors such as the strength of a trader’s strategy, their knowledge of the market and the strength of their research may have a much greater effect on the gains or losses they make.
