Swing Trading

I hope you feel (emotions) the same way at the end of the year or before tax time 2019 about swing trading.

Please remind us again how you're doing by end of year or by tax time.

Its normal to feel this way about swing trading or a day trade that you sat in the position the entire day for big profits...its like a high and you want to duplicate the feeling again after another successful trade.

Good luck.

we will see how I feel... today on Monday the hardest thing for me is to stand aside. My strategy calls for no trade , and it could be many days until I go into a trade.

 

update: this is the hard part ..... have to stand aside until my setup triggers again.

 

OKay... got my entry... only out of play for less than a week.. long @ 7374

 

Crazy, ain't it. Only thing you have to worry about are expirys now.

 

@Overnight yup... so so so much less stressful. I still watch every day,,, but no longer care about all the little moves up and down. My decisions are based on daily chart and at closing price. Way better for me.

 

How much you have in the account, and which instruments are you trading?

 

I would rather not say my total.. but I am trading at $10,000 per contract. I am trading NQ only... stop is 20day Moving Average

 

In my opine, true NQ swing trading would require more than 10K per contract, since the current maintenance margin is something like $6500 per contract. Give some leeway for time/flex on the price fluctuation swings....I'd say 30K per contract would be a better bet.

 

you are probably correct... but I have a max Stop at 100 points... anyway we shall see. profit or loss,,, either way I am liking this way of trading much better
