#SwingTradingStrategy The first key element for developing a swing trading strategy is the correct choice of the asset on which to operate.

Thanks to the liquidity provided by the large number of trades, trends in these types of assets are defined much more clearly. Therefore, the lines of resistance or support that will delineate the fluctuations of the asset along that trend will also be much easier for the trader to identify.
This will allow the investor to feel much more secure when investing. If they notice that the price fluctuates within a certain range, then it will be beneficial to invest when the asset is near the lower limit and sell their holdings when it has risen and is close to a drop.
Secondly, the aforementioned trend lines must be defined. This is done by drawing a straight line on the price chart that connects the rising lows in the case of an upward trend or the declining highs in the case of a downward trend.
Once the primary trend is defined, it is necessary to delineate the amplitude of price fluctuations on which the swing trading strategy will be developed.
