Swing Trading Vs. Position Trading: Key Differences In Two Active Investing Styles | Alissa Coram

[@eversunnyguy]

I like the fact that your videos are short and crisp but yet carry lot of value !

[@mehrdadmithra9591]

Thank you Alissa, Many times I have searched for something (like this subject) I have come to your videos. Always very clear information presented by you and learnt from you. Beside that every trading day see you on Market today. You and the rest of team are best !

[@pablobarrondo2221]

THANKS ALI FOR THIS TYPE OF VIDEOS, TO ME ARE SO EDUCATIONAL AND HELP ME SO MUCH, I TRY TO BE FLEXIBLE BUT SINCE I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH EXPERIENCE THIS VIDEOS HELP ME A LOT

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

Thanks for watching, Pablo!

[@jimformermilkman]

Great video!! I don’t identify as one type of trader or the other. I try to hold everything until I have a reason to sell. The stock and overall market helps me decide. Thanks Cheers!!

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

That’s a great way to do it! We’ve been talking more lately about using swing trade entries/setups, taking a first profit relatively quickly (or cut loss relatively quickly) and let rest of position ride like a position trade, using 10-week break for final sell.

[@Rholedz]

I like your content it is short but straight to the point. it really helps when you're Showing it up with the technical analysis, chart pattern & indicators. It's great to learn from your Trading strategy. Thanks! I’m more of a Position trade and less on a swing trade.

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

Thank you for your feedback! Glad you’re liking videos like this!

[@michaelprice3815]

That video was so well done. Great job Alissa!

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

Tell me... do you prefer swing trading or position trading? Or something else?

[@seanc7886]

Solid info, great at explaining the important info, but not over complicating it. Great video you should have more views but I think you keep doing it consistantly and its only a matter of time. APPRECIATE your work

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

Sean, this means a lot to me! Thank you so much for your comment. I've been focused on trader interviews lately but I'll have to get back to creating more videos like this! :)

[@davej2700]

Excellent Video - thank you! This market is so tough because a handful of stocks quickly get elevated above proper buy points making entering problematic but they just continue to run. In hindsight - ha - great position trades. I have been swing trading making a little bit of progress but a lot of trades with small gains/slightly smaller losses. Love your IBD Live and MarketSmith Services Alissa!

[@jimpetersen8180]

Very enlightening. I prefer to stay flexible. That is, whichever method works best for current market conditions. How did you get into trading?

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

Double majored in finance and journalism so my career at IBD has been a great fit!

[@jimpetersen8180]

@@AlissaCoramIBD A great combo for the position indeed. It’s clear you’re passionate about what you do. How awesome is that? 😀. Have a great day

[@eversunnyguy]

Aw..I guess I have been using 'swing' trade term in the place of position trade all these days !

[@biasifin]

Bravissima Ali!!!!!thanyou very grazie -a light in the darkness of the markets

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

Grazie! :)

[@ravindramore7186]

Thanks for video..I prefer swing for most of the stocks and some convert into positional depends upon the uptrend move signal in daily time frame

[@wohinmitdemgeld584]

Really helpful, thanks!

[@h-man2561]

Like position trading but doing more swing's in todays climate! 💰

[@muskduh]

this is a very good summary thanks

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

Thanks, Glenn!

[@wg9746]

Nice Video! I usually go with position trading and not so much with swing trading.

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

Thanks for watching!

[@jberenden]

I'm curious what the returns were for both styles on this trade?

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

It was about 6% for Swing Trader, which was in the trade for a lot less time. I want to say it was roughly 20% or so for Leaderboard but I don’t have that info at my fingertips right now!

[@josue.mayagoitia5569]

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

Thanks for watching!

[@alexanderthomsen7418]

Great video!

[@trading-doug1128]

Vert reveling info. I was doing a mix and match of both style.

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

Thanks for watching! I use both styles as well depending on market conditions!

[@Kakaidol]

wouldn't 3-5% profit be more of a scalper than swing?

[@usa4ever711]

OMG Sunshine!!! Hey Alissa! Member what I said once? That you look like the grown-up version of the "Precious Moments" little female figurines? Yeah that was me! 🙂

[@carrolwright7915]

You didn't reveal how much profit each trader made

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

Leaderboard captured a bigger profit but both were profitable trades!

[@AlissaCoramIBD]

I think it depends on what type of market you're in! If you're in a strong bull market, can potentially ride winners longer. In this market, keeping a tight leash is the way to go.
