Swing Trading
Swing trading is long term trading. It can take from a few days to a few weeks or even longer.
Swing traders hope to make higher gains by staying in a trade for a longer period of time thus hoping to capture more pips.
Swing traders use both technical and fundamental analysis to examine the market since they hope to stay in a trade for longer periods of time.
For technical analysis they will usually use 30 minute to 4 hour charts.
Exposure.
Swing trading exposes trades to overnight risk as well as weekend risk because unlike day traders, their trades remain open. The main exposure that comes with carry trades is that of interest. Carry trades become exposed to interest.
