#波段交易策略 Choose a suitable swing trading strategy for yourself, which can start from the following four steps:
1. Clarify your own situation
- Trading time: If you don't have time to monitor, you can choose a weekly trend strategy; if you have energy, you can do short-term swings.
- Risk tolerance: If you have low risk preference, choose support and resistance level trading; if you prefer high volatility, you can choose trend breakout strategies.
- Experience level: Beginners can use simple strategies like moving averages, while experienced traders can try pattern analysis or multiple indicator combinations.
2. Match the market environment
- Trending market (one-sided rise/fall): Use trend-following methods (such as buying when moving averages are bullish) or pattern breakout methods (such as following up after breaking a triangle).
- Consolidating market (range fluctuations): Buy at support levels, sell at resistance levels, or use RSI and Bollinger Bands to judge overbought and oversold conditions.
3. Test strategy effectiveness
- Historical backtesting: Use data from the past 3-5 years to verify win rates, profit-loss ratios, and other indicators.
- Simulated trading: Operate with a demo account for 1-3 months to see if the strategy adapts to real market conditions and whether you can strictly execute it.
4. Dynamic adjustment and optimization
- If the strategy fails, promptly adjust the rules (such as adding volume confirmation conditions in a consolidating market), or combine multiple strategies for synergy (such as using moving averages for direction + MACD for buy/sell points).
Strategy adaptation reference
- Beginners: 20-day moving average + MACD, buy when above the moving average and a golden cross occurs, sell when below the moving average or a death cross occurs.
- Trend trading: Buy when the head and shoulders bottom breaks out, set stop-loss below the neckline.
- Consolidating market: Bollinger Bands middle line + RSI, buy at middle line with RSI < 30, sell at upper line with RSI > 70.
