and also, how to backtest systems? manually or is there some sort of simulator out there.
A day trader is typically defined as someone who closes out all positions at the end of every trading day. Swing trader would be someone who holds trades for 2 days to 2 weeks.



I'll cover back testing next week in my trading article on this forum. Be on the lookout.
