Swing trading positive reversals. My trades last between 1 - 10 days.
I’ve been successfully swing trading now for over 5 years and created this blog to pass along what I’ve learned on my journey. I am by no means an expert at swing trading, but I know one thing…I am now consistently taking money out of the market!
