In fx currency trading, Swing trade refers to a trade position held open for periods ranging from couple of days to weeks.
There are a number of indicators that can be used in swing trading. In any type of trading the most widely used indicator is the momentum oscillator indicator. In foreign exchange trading there are different types of this indicator available for investors to choose from. Of these, stochastic indicator is the most popular momentum indicator.
momentum oscillator indicator:
These indicators primarily measure the momentum or the rate of change in currency prices. In fx currency trading as the price of a currency pair goes up, the momentum indicator will also rise correspondingly. The momentum indicator will start dropping whenever the price increase starts slowing down, thus indicating a loss in momentum in the currency pair.
stochastic indicator:
This momentum based indicator alerts forex traders whenever a currency pair is overbought or oversold. Normally as a consequence of this overbought/ oversold position, one can safely predict some kind of market adjustment to happen in the near future. The stochastic indicators therefore provide advance warning to traders. Based on the warning traders may consider exiting their positions and book profits before any further fall in currency price happens.
