🚨 I've been trading full time for the last few years. Here's what I've learned about swing trading that has helped my success rate:
STRUCTURE > EVERYTHING
- Seriously, zoom out and look at market structure first. No random set up or local price action has much significance if you zoom out and structure is garbage or doesn't support the local action.
WAIT FOR PULLBACKS IN STRONG TRENDS
- Identify a reliable support that holds often in strong trends. Whether it be a Fibonacci level and EMA or a structural level. Look for entry close to invalidations - that's where you get maximum R:R and where most people puke their positions or are too scared to buy.
FEWER TRADES; HIGHER QUALITY
- Self explanatory. Most people take too many trades. Not every set up you see is good and if you're finding 5 "good" trades a day you're either a trade scouting God or you're over-trading. And statistics show that 90% of us are doing the latter.
LET WINNERS RUN; CUT LOSERS QUICK
- Just let the winner run. Stop nerfing your R:R by closing everything early. Cut the losers quick tho. It's okay to cut before stop loss if you aren't getting the reaction you want. But don't just cut early because you're babysitting the chart or over-exposed and it dropped 0.6%
You don’t get paid for activity.
You get paid for patience.
- Quick scan, quick plan, walk away. Stare at charts too long and you'll force something.
The best trades feel obvious in hindsight.
Your job is to be positioned before that clarity hits - don't be afraid to add on confirmation.
DONT ADD TO LOSERS
- FYI, a pre-planned ladder entry position is not considered adding to a loser.
Do less. Downsize on your positions. Throw out most of the trades you like because they likely don't meet all of your criteria.
(Not financial advice) But trust me 🤝
Green flags in people:
They celebrate your wins
Remember small things about you
They respect your boundaries
You feel energized after seeing them
They listen without being defensive
They allow you to be fully yourself
They make you feel safe
You don't have to watch what you say
They support your goals
The market’s #1 trick isn’t to stop you from winning. It’s to train you into bad habits while you think you’re winning.
Every fake breakout… Every FOMO pump… Every too-easy win…
It’s bait. The market is trying to seduce you into chasing noise, overtrading, and abandoning discipline.
Don’t bite. Stay locked on the process. Because habits outlast luck and only the right habits keep you alive long enough to get paid.
@CagedSings@RnaudBertrand U stupid af. It's in the interest of US to have bases in EU. If US leaves all those bases, then US will lose a lot of influence/power and EU will get stronger themselves and then we say fck u usa. U will lose all control
