Financial markets never sleep, and in this constantly moving environment, certain strategies allow investors to capitalise on price fluctuations. Among them, swing trading stands out for its ability to capture short- and medium-term price movements. But what exactly is swing trading? What are its advantages, its limitations, and how does it differ from other approaches such as scalping or day trading?

In a recent interview with Allnews, Charles Chardonnens, Head of Investment Solutions at Banque Piguet Galland, shares his analysis and recommendations on this fascinating subject.

Swing trading relies on the use of technical tools such as moving averages, Bollinger Bands, or the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which help identify optimal entry and exit points. When well mastered, this strategy offers several advantages, such as the ability to minimise market noise or better manage risk. However, it also requires discipline and expertise to avoid pitfalls related to unexpected fluctuations.

Charles Chardonnens highlights the differences between swing trading and other more fast-paced approaches like scalping. He notes that these strategies can serve as valuable complements to a long-term investment outlook, thereby creating a balance between core and satellite assets in a diversified portfolio.
