My go-to swing trading strategy combines trend-following and pullback entries. I scan for strong uptrending stocks above the 50- and 200-day moving averages with high relative strength. I wait for a pullback to the 20 EMA or 50 SMA, then enter on a bullish reversal candle with increased volume and MACD confirmation. Stop loss is placed below the recent swing low; targets are set using a 2:1 risk-reward ratio or nearby resistance. I avoid trades during earnings weeks and confirm market direction with SPY or QQQ. Trades typically last 3–10 days, with trailing stops used after hitting target one.
