Scalping

Scalping involves holding positions for seconds to minutes, aiming for very small, frequent profits.

Support And Resistance

These are price levels where an asset has historically struggled to move above (resistance) or below (support).

Swing High

A price point higher than the two preceding and two following price points.

Swing Low

A price point lower than the two preceding and two following price points.

Swing Trading

Holding positions for several days to a few weeks to capitalize on medium-term price swings.

Technical Analysis

Technical analysis is heavily reliant on spotting trend reversals, continuations, and key support/resistance levels using indicators like moving averages, RSI, and candlestick patterns.

Technical Indicators

Mathematical calculations applied to price and volume data, such as Moving Averages, Relative Strength Index, Moving Average Convergence Divergence, and Bollinger Bands, that help identify momentum, overbought/oversold conditions, and trend strength.

Trading Strategy

A trading strategy is a specific methodology for identifying entry and exit points within that style.
