• Swing/Range trading: With this strategy, you buy and sell stocks that tend to fluctuate often. Buy them when they’re at a low point, then sell them when they reach a high point.
• Spread trading: This strategy relies on the difference, or spread, between what stocks cost and what buyers are willing to pay for them. A buyer will put in a bid for a stock that’s lower than its value, and you as an investor can swoop in and buy the stocks at a lower price. Then, you can try to sell the stocks for their true value.
• Fading: To use this strategy, you buy a stock that’s become popular, then sell it when you think it’s reached its peak and buyers are starting to pull back.
• Momentum/Trend following: With this strategy, you pay attention to a stock’s ebb and flow so you can buy low and sell high.
