The day trading time frame
Day trading generally opens and closes positions within the same trading day. Intraday liquidity, data releases and the costs of frequent trading matter.
The swing trading time frame
Swing trading may span several trading days. News, overnight financing and price gaps can affect a position while it remains open.
Compare risk and execution terms
Compare monitoring frequency, stop-loss plans, holding costs and platform execution. Lower trading frequency does not remove market risk.
