What is Active Trading?

Active traders closely monitor market conditions and rely on technical analysis, market news, and price action to make decisions. Trades may last from minutes to days.

This approach requires constant attention and often involves higher transaction costs due to frequent trades.

Active trading is best suited for experienced traders who can manage risk effectively.

Example of Active Trading
