Trend Following
Trend following is a strategy that aims to capture gains by riding long-term price movements. The core principle is simple: identify the direction of the market and trade in that direction until the trend shows signs of reversing.
Breakout Trading
Breakout trading aims to capture price movements when price breaks through significant support or resistance levels. Traders enter when price escapes from consolidation or breaks key levels with momentum.
Mean Reversion
Mean reversion strategy is based on the principle that prices tend to return to their average over time. Traders look for overextended moves and bet on a return to the mean, buying dips in uptrends or selling rips in downtrends.
Momentum Trading
Momentum trading capitalizes on the tendency of assets that have been moving strongly to continue moving in the same direction. Traders buy strength and sell weakness, riding the wave of price momentum.
Swing Trading
Swing trading captures short to medium-term price moves over days to weeks. Swing traders aim to catch 'one move' in the market, entering at swing lows and exiting at swing highs (or vice versa for shorts).
Scalping
Scalping is an ultra-short-term trading strategy that aims to profit from small price movements. Scalpers make many trades per day, each targeting small gains that compound over time.
