Swing trading in crypto futures is one of the hardest trading styles, but it also offers the biggest rewards. Unlike scalping or day trading, swing trading requires you to be daring against the tide when the market is chaotic, often when most other traders have run out of patience or are swept up in emotions.

✨ Why is swing trading difficult?

Swing orders are often placed at times of extreme market panic or excessive excitement. When everyone is only thinking about cutting losses or FOMO, you must maintain your composure to catch the counter-entry.

The most beautiful swing entry almost always appears when 'no one dares to enter', as that is the moment the crowd's psychology reaches the peak of fear or greed.


Certainly, the Swing order must be placed as a Limit order in advance and wait because it will be filled by flash Pump or Flash Dump movements.

🔄 How many times to bet for a successful swing order?

In practice, you will need many small bets, endure consecutive short stoplosses, before finding the perfect entry for a large swing order.

This requires steel discipline and absolute faith in your strategy, as just one correct swing can yield profits many times the total stoploss endured.

🚦 Special point of the swing order:

Once the entry is established, the Stoploss is usually extremely short; the market just needs to sweep through, and you lose very little capital. Conversely, if it goes in the right direction, the order will capture the entire bounce or a large reversal, resulting in a huge risk/reward ratio.

However, ego, fear, and greed are the biggest barriers. These emotions can easily lead you to cut your orders early or not dare to click the button even when the entry signal is clear.

📈 Analyzing the ETH long swing order in the image

In the order I sent,

On the 4H timeframe, the ETH/USD pair is in a strong support zone around 3,435 – 3,485 USD. After a deep decline earlier, ETH's price has started to touch the lower edge of the previous sideways range.

✅ Entry point: I will place a long near the panic bottom waiting for a back test of 3485-3500, at the time when the red candles continuously push down but have not decisively broken the support.

✅ Stoploss: extremely short, only below the candle wick of 3,425 USD, clearly limiting risk.

✅ Target: the profit-taking zone is set very ambitiously, up to 4,072 USD, corresponding to the old resistance zone (golden line) – where ETH has been rejected multiple times before.

🎯 Comments:

This is a typical swing order: entry when the market is most fearful, concise stoploss, very large risk/reward (estimated R:R ratio > 6:1).

If the market bounces back, ETH is likely to revisit strong resistance around 4,072 USD; this is the opportunity to achieve extremely high profits.

However, the prerequisite is to maintain discipline, not to randomly move the stoploss, and not to FOMO into larger volumes when the price has not confirmed a reversal.

🔎 In summary:

Swing futures trading is not just a technique, but also a psychological battle. It is for traders who understand the market, know how to manage capital, and most importantly, control their emotions. The current long swing order for ETH that I placed is a very potential entry, but absolutely respect the stoploss – that is the key to sustainable success.
