Overview of Futures Trading Styles
Day Trading
Enter and exit within the same session to capture intraday moves and avoid overnight risk. Favored in index, energy, and rate futures.
Swing Trading
Hold for days to weeks to ride swings around key levels and macro catalysts. Great when you cannot watch the tape all day.
Position Trading
Multi week or multi month exposure built on trends in growth, inflation, policy, and supply demand cycles. Focus on the big picture.
Scalping
Many small, fast trades that exploit micro structure and liquidity pockets. Demands discipline, speed, and clear rules.
Each style fits different goals, risk tolerance, and time availability so you can build a path that matches how you trade best.
