Revealing my Top 3 PROVEN Swing Trading Strategies *that works*
Main summary
Key takeaways
Summary (Finance-focused)
The video explains three swing trading strategies designed to capture one large “swing” move per trade while exiting before a reversal wipes out profits. Each strategy is presented as a rule-based setup using:
- Support and resistance
- Candlestick rejection
- The 50-day moving average (Strategy #1)
Core swing-trading idea: Enter near a key level (support for longs, resistance for shorts), aim to catch the move, and exit near the opposite key level before reversal risk increases.
Core Swing-Trading Concept (From the Intro)
Goal
- Enter near:
- Support (for long trades), or
- Resistance (for short trades)
- Then:
- Hold for one big move
- Exit at the opposite level
- Take profit near the next key support/resistance
Example mechanics
- Buy at support → exit at resistance
- Sell at resistance → exit at support
Notes on markets
- No specific markets (e.g., stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex, commodities) or tickers are named.
- The strategies are described generically.
Strategy 1: “Catch the Wave” (Trend + 50 Moving Average)
This strategy uses the 50 moving average (described as a blue line) to align with the broader trend, but only after a retracement.
Method / Step-by-step
- Trend filter: Identify a trend that “respects” the 50 moving average.
- Example shown: a downtrend (lower highs, lower lows).
- Wait for pullback: Price should pull back toward the 50 MA.
- Don’t enter immediately: Do not short just because price touches the 50 MA.
- Confirmation: Enter only after bearish rejection of the 50 MA.
- Example confirmation: a doji-like area followed by a large red candlestick rejecting the moving average.
- Stop-loss: Place the stop-loss a few pips above the most recent swing high (the setup’s swing high).
- Take-profit: Target the most recent swing low (the next major downside objective in the example).
Explicit recommendation / caution
- Only trade trends with “deeper pullback/retracement” for more upside/downside potential.
- Wait for rejection + candlestick confirmation, not just a touch of the 50 MA.
Strategy 2: “Fake the Move” (Counter-Trend / Momentum Reversal)
This strategy is explicitly described as trading against the prevailing move (the creator refers to counter-trend behavior as “naughty little buggers”).
Method / Step-by-step
- Context: Identify a strong momentum move toward a support level.
- Example: price “crashing back down” into support.
- Support break + failure:
- Price breaks/destroys the drawn support level (support fails).
- Key signal: Look for a strong bullish rejection after the break.
- Example confirmation: a large green candlestick where buyers reclaim/hold and halt the move.
- Entry timing: Enter on the next candle open after the rejection.
- Even though support broke, the trade becomes a buy because the breakdown was “faked.”
- Stop-loss:
- Place stop-loss below the support area by a few pips or below the rejection candle low.
- Take-profit: Target the next swing high (described as the prior high before the big drop).
Explicit recommendation / caution
- Counter-trend entries require a clear rejection.
- The strategy is not “buy because it broke support,” but because the breakdown failed to sustain.
Strategy 3: “Stuck in a Box” (Range / Consolidation Trading)
Designed for a consolidation/ranging market where price oscillates between support and resistance like a “box.”
Support-side Long Setup
- Range identification: Confirm price is sideways between support and resistance.
- Break below support: Wait for price to break below support (“spot AOL” / support level).
- Rejection after the break:
- Look for strong rejection indicating the breakdown is failing.
- Example signal: a huge green candlestick showing buyers at support.
- Entry: Enter on the next candle open after rejection.
- Stop-loss: Below the rejection candle low.
- Take-profit guidance:
- Take profit at the resistance area, or before resistance.
- Rationale: exit before selling pressure increases near resistance.
Resistance-side Short Setup
- Break above resistance: Wait for price to break above resistance.
- Confirm failure:
- Example sequence: a doji, then a long-week candle, then a large red candlestick showing rejection.
- Entry: Enter a sell after rejection confirmation.
- Stop-loss: Above the rejecting candle high / above resistance.
- Take-profit: At the support level (where buyers are expected).
