What is range trading?
Range trading is an active investing strategy that identifies a range at which the investor buys and sells at over a short period. For example, a stock is trading at $35 and you believe it is going to rise to $40, then trade in a range between $35 and $40 over the next several weeks. You might attempt to range trade it by purchasing the stock at $35, then selling if it rises to $40. You’d repeat this process until you think the stock will no longer trade in this range.
