The trading mindset is a key factor for trading success; its core lies in maintaining rationality, adapting to the market, and overcoming human weaknesses. A stable mindset in swing trading
The differences between short-term and swing trading mindsets
In short-term trading, a stable mindset requires keen observation and decisive execution. Enter when it's time to enter, and exit when it's time to exit, being both ruthless and carefree. In contrast, swing and trend trading have their differences. In swing and trend trading, one must accurately maintain a very appropriate balance between greed and fear. This means planning to seek greater profit margins and putting it into practice, and having strong confidence in future trends, which must be based on quite accurate judgments. It is a process of long-term observation and summarization of market trends, daring to make choices and sticking to those choices.
Knowledge is the beginning of action; action is the result of knowledge.
The process and methods of analysis vary from person to person; each individual uses different technical analysis tools, and their understanding of market trends also differs. After analyzing and judging the possible emergence of swing trend markets, the most critical part is the execution phase.
If one is always unable to execute their trading plan, then no matter how strong their analytical ability is, it will be of no use. First, one must have a correct understanding of analysis and trading. The trading plan may be very perfect, but during the holding period, market trends often deviate. Therefore, the trading plan needs to incorporate some margin for error and exit conditions. When reasonable deviations in the details of the trend occur, they can be allowed, but when market trends deviate significantly, one should decisively exit.
