Swing Trading Strategy
#SwingTradingStrategy
Swing trading is about capturing short-to-medium-term price moves—not the daily chop, and not the long-term hold. On Binance, with its deep liquidity and massive choice of coins, you can craft a clean strategy that combines structure, momentum, and smart risk. Join Now
⚙️ Core Structure of the Strategy
1. ✅ Coin Selection (Filter the Noise)
Use Binance’s filtering tools and CoinMarketCap integration to narrow your universe:
Volume > $50M/day
Volatility > 3% ATR/Day
Mid to Large Cap Coins (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL, MATIC, LINK)
Avoid illiquid or pump-dump tokens.
2. 🧠 Trend Confirmation (Follow the Flow)
We only trade in the direction of the trend.
Use 4H and 1D chart
Apply EMA 20/50:
EMA 20 above EMA 50 = uptrend
EMA 20 below EMA 50 = downtrend
Confirm with Volume Profile or OBV (On Balance Volume)
Only swing in the trend direction. Don't countertrade unless it's a setup with high RR and major support/resistance.
3. 🎯 Entry Criteria (Trigger the Trade)
Ideal Entry Triggers:
Bullish Pullback to EMA 20 or a key demand zone
Price Action Signals:
Bullish Engulfing
Pin Bar Reversal
Break and Retest of Resistance Turned Support
Additional Confluence:
RSI between 40–50 in uptrend (buy zone)
MACD bullish crossover
➡️ Entry = Break of candle high that confirms support
4. 🛑 Stop Loss Strategy
Place SL below last swing low in long trade (above swing high in short)
Risk per trade: 1–2% of capital
Avoid tight stops—give your swing trade space to breathe
5. 📈 Target Zones (Where to Exit)
Fibonacci Extensions (1.272 and 1.618)
Previous swing high/low
Daily chart supply zone
Trailing Stop Method once 2R is reached
Partial Booking at 1.5R – 2R and trail the rest.
📊 Real Example: SOL/$USDT Swing Setup
Trend: Uptrend (EMA 20 > EMA 50 on 1D)
Price pulls back to 20 EMA with a bullish engulfing candle
Entry at $156, SL at $148, Target 1 at $172, Target 2 at $185
R:R = 1:2.5$SOL
Booked 60% at $172, trailed rest to $180
