Swing trading is the act of aggressively buying or selling a futures contract into areas of predicted support and resistance. Unlike trend traders who await confirmation of a move, swing traders try to predict the timing of the turn as well as the direction.

This strategy thrives on the premise that markets spend a majority of their time range-bound and therefore, more often than not, it is possible that confirmation of a trend might also mark the end of it.
