day trading as the name suggests involves making dozens of trades in a single day based on technical analysis and sophisticated charting systems day trading seeks to scalp small profits multiple times a day and close out all positions at the end of the day swing traders do not close their positions on a daily basis and instead may hold onto them for weeks months or even longer swing traders may incorporate both technical and fundamental analysis whereas a day trader is more likely to focus on using technical analysis
