Discover Your ‘Bread and Butter’: How Your Personal Trading Style Can Set You Apart

[Image] Discover Your ‘Bread and Butter’: How Your Personal Trading Style Can Set You Apart Listen… World-class traders tend to have two things in common… First, they’ve mastered the basics of trading. They understand the personality of the stock market, how to read and analyze charts, and the finer points of timing and execution… But there’s something even more important, beyond the nitty-gritty details of trading, that the world’s best traders share… SPOILER ALERT: They all have a unique trading style. By developing an individual style that fits your personality, account size, and risk tolerance … you can potentially carve out a niche that other traders aren’t exploiting. In other words, by finding your style … you might just carve out an edge for yourself. And this is what every trader on the planet should be striving toward. With that in mind, keep reading and I’ll show you how I found my trading style, other styles that may work for you, and how to potentially find your own… My Trading Style (and How I Discovered It) I’ve developed my trading style over 25 years of hard work, dedication, and self-discovery… It comes from a combination of my background on Wall Street followed by years of trading on my own. After doing this for so long, I’ve figured out my strengths and weaknesses. I know myself. I know that my preferred trading style is macro-driven, short-term swing trading. If I see a major macro catalyst occurring, I’m immediately looking for correlated names to trade options on. But I didn’t know this on day one in the markets. I had to make a lot of terrible trades — outside of my eventual strategy — before realizing what consistently worked for me. Now, I want you to avoid those bad trades by discovering your trading style early. 5 Common Trading Styles (and How They Work) Considering this, let’s break down the five common trading styles (how they work, why traders use them, and what I think of each). Who knows, one of these styles may fit your personality perfectly… 1. Day Trading Day traders open and close positions within a single trading day, aiming to capitalize on short-term price movements. They closely monitor price movements, utilize technical analysis tools, and even occasionally employ high-frequency trading strategies. Day traders typically close all their positions before the market closes to avoid overnight risks. (I don’t day trade very often. As mentioned, my style is more geared towards one- and two-day swing trades.) 2. Swing Trading Swing traders aim to capture medium-term price movements that occur over a few days to several weeks. They analyze technical indicators, chart patterns, and market trends to identify potential mid-term entry and exit points. Swing trading involves holding positions for a longer duration compared to day trading, but shorter compared to long-term investing. (Swing trading is my bread and butter. I find that my best trades usually take place overnight, sometimes over two or three days.) 3. Position Trading Position traders take a long-term approach, holding positions for weeks, months, or even years. They focus on identifying major trends in the market and aim to profit from sustained price movements. Position traders often rely on fundamental analysis and macroeconomic data to assess the overall health and prospects of a company or sector. (If I’m position trading, it’s often a pairs trade, where I’m going long and short two opposing stocks simultaneously. For example: Long QQQ, Short IWM.) 4. Momentum Trading Momentum traders seek to profit from stocks exhibiting strong upward or downward momentum. They look for stocks with high trading volumes and rapid price movements. Momentum traders often utilize technical indicators, such as moving averages or relative strength index (RSI), to identify stocks that are gaining or losing momentum. (While I don’t consider myself a momentum trader at heart, I’ve made some trades that have been based on momentum. You can’t ignore momentum if you’re a long-focused trader. But for me, it’s usually more about the macro than the technicals.) 5. Contrarian Trading Contrarian traders take positions that go against prevailing market sentiment. They believe that the market often overreacts to news or events, leading to mispriced stocks. Contrarian traders may buy stocks when they are out of favor and sell when they are overly hyped. They rely on analysis, research, and their judgment to identify opportunities that others may have overlooked. (If you’re only following the market trend, you’ll eventually get caught flat-footed. Start considering the other side of the trade. Some of the greatest trades of all time have been contrarian in nature.) Closing Thoughts It's important to remember that these trading styles are not mutually exclusive, and many traders may combine elements from different styles to suit their preferences and market conditions (like myself). Also, remember that no trading style works at all times. No setup lasts forever. You have to continuously adapt your strategy and style based on your experience and the ever-changing dynamics of the stock market. But this isn’t something to shy away from. The variety of styles available is actually one of the coolest things about trading. So, start researching the styles I’ve laid out today and think about what aspects of each you might employ in your trading. There’s a trading style out there for everyone, you just have to find yours. Stay Street Smart, Jeff Zananiri P.S.
