#SwingTradingStrategy What is Swing Trading?

Swing trading targets short to medium-term movements, typically holding positions from 1 day to several weeks. The goal is to capture a portion of a trend, not the entire trend.

🛠️ Key Components of a Swing Trading Strategy

1. 🧭 Setup of the Trade & Market Context

Trade only during clear market conditions (uptrend, downtrend, or range).

Use higher time frames (1D, 4H) to define the trend; lower time frames (1H, 15m) for entries.

2. 📊 Technical Indicators that Work

Tool Use Case

Moving Averages (50/200 EMA) Direction of the trend, golden/dead cross

RSI (Relative Strength Index) Overbought/Oversold zones (30/70)

MACD Momentum & divergence detection

Fibonacci Retracement Entry/exit zones after the movement

Volume Confirms breakouts or false breakouts

3. 🎯 Entry Strategy

Look for these entry triggers:

Price retraces to support or EMA + bullish candle (e.g., engulfing)

RSI crosses upward from oversold

MACD lines cross above 0

Breakout tests are performed with volume
