Swing trading
Multi-session trades built around broader structure and planned invalidation.
Market conditions
Start by identifying whether the market is ranging or directional, then check session liquidity and scheduled events.
Entry conditions
Write the trigger, invalidation level and maximum risk before entering. Wait for the setup conditions to be present; do not anticipate them.
Stop-loss rules
Place the stop beyond the price level that proves the setup wrong. Size the position from the distance to that stop.
Take-profit rules
Choose a target from the next structural area and calculate the reward relative to the planned risk before placing the order.
Risk / reward
Choose a target from the next structural area and calculate the reward relative to the planned risk before placing the order.
Common mistakes
Common pitfalls include late entries, changing rules mid-trade and increasing size after a loss.
When not to use it
Stand aside when spreads widen, liquidity is thin or the market no longer matches the setup assumptions.
