Swing traders hold their stocks longer than day traders, but will rarely hold stocks for more than a few days. Similar to day trading, fundamental analysis usually offers little help with this strategy, and is often disregarded [4]. Swing traders look at volume and liquidity, which stocks are trending, sector selection, and volatility to make informed decisions. Swing trading uses two types of strategies – trend following and counter trend. Trend following is used when stocks are trending strongly and counter trend is used when a stock is range bound [4].
