30K Trading Day!

One thing I love about swing trading… and one thing I hate about it.

2 Reasons I LOVE Swing Trades:

1. You can make money while you sleep. If the stock moves in your favor overnight, you can wake up to profits without staring at charts all day.

2. Time is on your side. Since swing trades typically use contracts with more time until expiration, you’re not fighting the clock like you are with many day trades.

2 Reasons I HATE Swing Trades:

1. Consolidation can be painful. You might have the right idea, but if the stock moves sideways for days, your contract can slowly lose value while you’re waiting.

2. Overnight risk is real. Just like a stock can gap up in your favor, it can also gap against you. Bad news after hours can turn a great setup into a losing trade by the next morning.

That’s the tradeoff with swing trading. More time and flexibility… but you have to be willing to hold through uncertainty.

Day Trading or Swing Trading?

You don't have to hit a home run every trade, just get on base. Small consistent gains of $300, $400, $500 add up faster than chasing $10,000 days that aren't always there. Pinch away at the pie and eventually you'll eat the whole thing.

Most people think trading only happens when the market is open.

The truth is, a big part of my success happens when the market is CLOSED.

Here are 3 things I do every weekend:

✅ 1. Review My Trading Journal

I go back through every trade from the week. What did I do right? What mistakes did I make? What patterns am I seeing? The goal is to improve every single week.

✅ 2. Watch Bitcoin

Bitcoin trades 24/7, even when the stock market is closed. It often gives clues about overall market sentiment and can provide insight into how investors are feeling heading into the new week.

✅ 3. Analyze Futures at 8 PM Sunday

At 8 PM EST on Sunday, stock index futures open. This is one of the first looks at how the market may react before Monday’s opening bell. I use this time to identify key levels, potential opportunities, and prepare my game plan.

Remember: Great traders don’t just react to the market—they prepare for it.

What does your weekend market routine look like?

One of the biggest mistakes new traders make is using the same stop loss for a swing trade that they use for a day trade.

A DAY TRADE is designed to capture movement within the same trading session. Because the trade is short-term, your stop loss is usually tighter and based on the intraday structure.

A SWING TRADE is different.

When you’re holding a trade for days or even weeks, you have to give the stock room to breathe. Stocks naturally pull back, consolidate, and retest support before continuing higher. If your stop loss is too tight, you’ll often get stopped out of a perfectly good trade before the move happens.

Think about it this way:

🚫 Day Trade = Short leash

✅ Swing Trade = Longer leash

The goal isn’t to avoid losses. The goal is to place your stop loss where your trade idea is proven wrong.

For swing trades, that might mean placing your stop below a key support level, demand zone, moving average, or recent swing low—not just a random dollar amount.

Before you enter any trade, ask yourself:

“Am I trading today’s move or the next few weeks’ move?”

Your answer should determine where your stop loss goes.

Most traders focus on entries.

Professional traders focus on risk management.

Every trader knows this feeling, you exit a losing trade and it immediately goes where you wanted. You exit a winning trade too soon chasing bigger gains and miss out. This is the psychology trap that holds most traders back.

A 70% win rate sounds great — until your losses are bigger than your wins every single time. Tracking win percentage alone is the wrong metric. What actually matters is whether you're winning more money than you're losing. Track what counts.
