Traders who use a scalping strategy place very short-term trades with small price movements. Scalpers aim to 'scalp' a small income from each trade in the hope that all the small benefits accumulate. As a scalper, you must have a disciplined exit strategy as a large loss can eliminate many other benefits that have accumulated slowly and steadily. Forex scalping is particularly common for trading currency pairs.

Position trading is a popular trading strategy where a trader holds a position for a long period of time, usually months or years, ignoring minor price fluctuations in favor of succeeding from long-term trends. Position traders tend to use fundamental analysis to evaluate potential price trends within the markets, but also take into considerations other factors such as market trends and historical patterns.

Swing trading is a trading methodology that seeks to capture a swing (or "one move"). The idea is to endure as "little pain" as possible by exiting your trades before the opposing pressure comes in. This means you'll book your income before the market reverse and wipe out your gains.

It's swing trading in a range market because the market is "stuck" between Support and Resistance (somewhat like a box). Here's how it works. Identify a range market. Wait for the price to break below. Support If the price breaks below. Support, then wait for a strong price rejection (a close above Support). If there's a strong price rejection, then go long on the next candle open. Set your stop loss 1 ATR below the candle low and take income before Resistance.

This swing trading strategy focuses on catching "one move" in a trending market (like a surfer trying to catch the wave). The idea here is to enter after the pullback has ended when the trend is likely to continue. However… This doesn't work for all types of trends.

Now you're probably thinking: "What's the meaning of fade?" It means… to go against. Basically, you're trading against the momentum (also known as counter-trend). So, if you're the trader that likes to "go against the crowd", then this trading strategy is for you.
