Types of trades I think you talking about like scalping, day trading, swing trading, and bear/bull trading.
The types of trading that I know are just scalping, day trading and swing trading which are based on the time the trader wants. Scalping which requires few minutes to like an hour, day trading that requires hours to like a day or 2, swing trading that requires few days to weeks or a month.
But there are other forms of trading like arbitrage.
Did you mean types of trading? We have:
- Day, Swing, Position trading
- Scalping
- Algorithmic Trading
- Options Trading
- Futures etc..
What is the difference between position trading and future trading? Aren't they the same thing.
Option trading is also part of future trading.
Algorithmic trading is not what should be considered as a trading type:
Trade have types, most especially, if we are discussing cryptocurrency trading, there is..
-Spot trading
-Abitrage trading
-Options trading
-Futures/margin trading
-P2P trading
-Trading derivatives
Though I am only familiar with 4 which are spot trading, futures/margin trading, Abitrage trading and p2p trading, I am not so sure about derivatives and options trading as I just hear and see it on some trading apps, I've never tried it.
Now, knowing how this different market works and how to trade and make profit from them is a different thing altogether, and I personally would suggest you do some research on this yourself.
Options and future trading are derivatives. Margin trading is never in the category of future trading, they are very different but just that they both make use of leverage, but how it is done is different and the leverage you can go up to in future is far more than in margin trading, both should be considered separate.
The types of trading that I know are scalping, day trading and swing trading. But in crypto, it is worth knowing derivative trading which is what traders are using to scalp, day trade and swing trade.
