Learning the Lingo: Swing Trading

學習股市術語：波段交易 (Swing Trading)

Swing Trading is a style of trading that attempts to capture gains in a stock within one to four days. Swing traders use technical analysis to look for stocks with short-term price momentum. These traders aren’t interested in the fundamental or intrinsic value of stocks, but rather in their price trends and patterns.

波段交易為某種形式的交易，這種交易是投資人在一到四天內，嘗試從某檔股票獲利。波段交易人 (Swing Trader) 會使用技術分析，尋找價格在短期內波動的股票。這些交易人對於股票的基本價值 (Fundamental Value) 或內在價值 (Intrinsic Value) 不感興趣，而會注意股票的價格趨勢 (Price Trend) 和價格形態 (Price Pattern)。

To find situations in which a stock has the extraordinary potential to move in such a short time frame, the trader must act quickly. Therefore, swing trading is mainly used by at-home and day traders. Large institutions trade in sizes too big to move in and out of stocks quickly. The individual trader is able to exploit such short-term stock movements without having to compete with the major traders.

為了尋找價格極有可能在短時間內波動的股票，波段交易人必須迅速行動。因此，波段交易主要是自由交易人 (At-home Trader) 或當日沖銷交易人 (Day Trader) 在使用。大型機構的交易量太大，因此無法快速買進或賣出股票。個別交易人便能夠利用這種短期的股票走勢，而不需要和主力 (Major Trader) 競爭。
