Complete Swing Trading Course

Course Overview

What will you learn :

1. Definition: Swing trading is a short- to medium-term trading strategy that aims to profit from price fluctuations (swings) within an underlying asset, such as stocks, currencies, or commodities.
2. Timeframe: Swing traders hold positions for a few days to a few weeks, distinguishing it from day trading (intraday) and long-term investing.
3. Trend-following strategy: Swing traders try to identify and capitalize on price movements within a prevailing trend, either upward (bullish) or downward (bearish).
4. Technical analysis: Swing traders heavily rely on technical analysis, studying price charts, indicators (e.g., moving averages, BB, RSI), and patterns (e.g., head and shoulders, double tops/bottoms) to make trading decisions.
5. Fundamental analysis: While less common, some swing traders may consider fundamental factors as well, such as earnings reports or news events that could influence an asset’s price.
6. Risk management: Risk management is crucial in swing trading. Traders set stop-loss orders to limit potential losses and take-profit orders to secure gains once a target price is reached.
7. Volatility and liquidity: Swing traders often prefer assets with sufficient volatility and liquidity to ensure smooth entry and exit from positions.
8. Psychology: Emotions can play a significant role in swing trading. Successful traders must manage fear and greed, adhering to their predetermined trading plan.
