The trading style solely depends on the individual agenda and preferences. One of the effective way to trade forex is swing trading. What is swing trading anyway? What is common misconception about swing trading? How can you swing trade efficiently?
Swing trade means placing a trade only when the opportunity strikes and hold it for a few hours or even a few days. Forex traders that use swing trading technique aim to catch large price movements instead of small ticks. In order to swing trade you have to concentrate on fundamental analysis of the currencies, since it is mostly fundamentals that force forex market to move one way or another.
In order to catch large price movements, forex swing traders tend to hold open positions for more than 24 hours, sometimes even for several days. The good thing about the low frequency of trades is low transaction costs (compared to, for example, day trading). The disadvantage of swing trading is the rollover fees, however even this is nothing compared to the spreads and the potential profits.
