Algorithmic Trading and it's Pros and ConsAlgorithmic Trading is the activity of bots to perform buy and sell actions on an exchange. These bots are scripts created by traders to eliminate manual trading. It's all rule-based trading. A trader codes the indicators, moving averages, and various other conditions for the buy's and sell's to happen. Stop losses and take profits are coded and so are dynamic buys and sell conditions which makes algorithmic trading even more versatile. Pros Speedy executions make it easy to capture quick price movements as soon as they occur. There is no risk of any human error during trading. Execution of large volumes of trade in a short period of time. Ability to backtest historical data to train the algorithm accordingly. Investment can be diversified using multiple trading scripts. Cons Technology Dependency which means if the algorithmic trading platform is not reliable, there could be a possible loss of capital in the event of disruptions. Need to know how to code or understand the concepts of trading, indicators, etc. Need of high-end resources to create, backtest and run trading scripts.

Is swing trading more profitable than long-term investment?Look at the image below. Let me give you a small example. This is the real chart of the State Bank of India. I have coded swing trader in black and long-term investor in blue for your easy understanding. In the first scenario, both the swing trader and the long-term investor bought SBI at the same level. After a month the swing trader sold his holdings and made 60% on his capital of 1 lakh. Now he has 1 lakh 60 thousand. But the long-term investor didn’t sell. Again the prices of the stock went down and the swing trader got an opportunity to buy in dip. The swing trader sold his positions and made 36% this time. Now he has (1 lakh 60 thousand) + 36% that is 2 lakh 17 thousand. This time the long-term investor sold his holdings and made 64% total. He has now 1 lakh 64 thousand. Everybody trades the swings. Nobody buys in dip and sells in the dip. That is just foolishness. Some people trade the larger time frames and some people smaller time frames.
