Beyond Day Trading

by Cannon Trading staff

Beyond Day Trading

There are three distinct trading styles that can be implemented in trading futures:

  1. One can "scalp" the markets in attempting to capture very small, quick profits.
  2. One can trade market "swings" that last one, two or several days and attempt to profit from moves of a larger nature.
  3. And, traders can trade from a long term perspective, trying to secure profits from large movements in price over an extended period of time, which could be weeks or months in length.

All three styles have their proponents. All three have advantages and disadvantages. What is key is that the trader pursues the style of trading that BEST fits his or her personality, strategy and intended discipline.
