What are trading strategies?

Trading strategies are systematic approaches traders employ to make informed decisions in buying and selling financial instruments, such as stocks, Forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.

Each strategy is a specific plan for opening and closing profitable orders based on market analysis, technical indicators, and risk management to achieve specific financial goals. Traders choose strategies based on their objectives, risk tolerance, and preferred trading style.
