⚙️ Core Elements of a Swing Trading Strategy
1. Timeframe:
Trades typically last 2 days to 3 weeks.
Uses 4H, Daily, or Weekly charts.
2. Market Selection:
Works well in volatile but trending markets (stocks, forex, crypto).
3. Technical Tools Used:
Moving Averages (e.g., 50/200 EMA)
Relative Strength Index (RSI) for overbought/oversold signals
MACD for momentum shifts
Fibonacci Retracements for entry/exit zones
Support & Resistance levels
4. Entry Signal Examples:
Bullish candlestick at support (e.g., hammer)
Breakout from a consolidation pattern (e.g., flag or triangle)
RSI crossing 30 (buy) or 70 (sell)
5. Exit Strategy:
Target based on previous swing highs/lows
Use trailing stop-loss or fixed reward-to-risk ratio (e.g., 2:1)
6. Risk Management:
Risk only 1–2% of your capital per trade
Set stop-loss just below/above recent swing low/high
