Swing trading is a trading style where trades are held from a few days to a few weeks to profit from medium price movements (swing). Unlike day trading, you do not have to sit in front of the screen all day.

đŸŸĸ Step by step method for swing trading

Select timeframe

4H (4 hours) – the most popular

Daily (1 day) – safer

> Entry is usually checked on 1H or 4H

Identify trend

First, understand which direction the market is going:

📈 Higher High + Higher Low → Uptrend

📉 Lower High + Lower Low → Downtrend

Tool:

EMA 50 & EMA 200

Trendline

Draw support and resistance

Buy at support (Buy)

Sell at resistance (Sell)

👉 Range and pullback are very important in swing trading

Use indicators

Not all together, 2–3 are enough:

🔹 RSI

30–40 → Buy zone

60–70 → Sell zone

🔹 MACD

Bullish crossover → Buy

Bearish crossover → Sell

🔹 EMA

If the price is above EMA 50 → Buy bias

If below → Sell bias

Take entry confirmation

Bullish/Bearish candlestick pattern

(Engulfing, Pin Bar, Inside Bar)

Set Stop Loss (definitely)

Risk per trade: no more than 1–2%

Determine Take Profit

Nearby Support/Resistance

Risk : Reward = 1:2 or 1:3
