REVERSAL TRADING
As the name implies, reversal trading is when traders seek to anticipate a reversal in a price trend with the aim to guarantee entrance into a trade ahead of the market.
This
strategy is considered more difficult and risky. True reversals can be difficult to spot, but they’re also more rewarding if they are correctly predicted.
Traders use a variety of tools to spot reversals, such as momentum and volume
indicators or visual cues on charts such as
triple tops and bottoms, and
head-and-shoulders patterns.
POSITION TRADING
Position trading is a long-term
strategy that may play out over periods of weeks, months or even years. Position traders often base their strategies on long-term macroeconomic trends of different economies. They also typically operate with low levels of leverage and smaller trade sizes with the expectation of poss
ibly profiting on large price movements over a long period of time.
These traders are more likely to rely on fundamental
analysis together with technical
indicators to choose their entry and exit levels. This type of trading may require greater levels of patience and stamina from traders, and may not be desirable for those seeking to turn a fast profit in a day-trading situation.
