Various Trading Styles and Techniques Used by Traders
Trading style for each investor is unique. The trading style of an individual in the stock exchange is influenced by his or her initial experience with money and the meaning of money in their lives.
There are a number of trading styles, but this doesn't mean traders are unable to go against their natural preferences, nor does it mean that favoring one trading style over another precludes changing style.
There are many ways to characterize trading style. Some people define it by the markets they trade, currencies or commodities they trade.
Others use the fundamental/technical dichotomy and still others characterize it by trade types, like spreads or equity options. The following are the various trading styles:
Scalp Trading
Momentum Trading
Technical Trading
Spread Trading
Inter-Market Spreads
Calendar Spreads
Bull Spreads
Bear Spreads
Seasonal Trading
Arbitrage
