📚 Chapters and Key Concepts:

An introduction to daily chart swing trading, highlighting the importance of pre-market preparation and higher time frame analysis.

Daily Big Bull Bar: Buy and Buy Pullback

When a strong bull bar forms, it often signals a buy opportunity on pullbacks. Learn to wait for price to retrace to 50% or lower for optimal entry points. This setup leverages the power of higher time frame bullish momentum.


Daily Big Bear Bar: Sell and Sell Pullback

This is the inverse of the previous setup. A strong bear bar often provides sell opportunities on retracements to the top third of the bar. Discover how to position yourself for the second leg down in a bearish trend.


Failed Breakout, Exhaustion Gap, Measured Move

Failed breakouts can signal a transition to a trading range or a measured move in the opposite direction. This section covers how to spot and trade these reversals effectively.


Failed Breakout = Trading Range Likely

Markets often revert to trading ranges after failed breakouts. Learn to buy low and sell high within the range, while scaling into positions to capture mid-range profit targets.


2nd Test of Yesterday’s High

When the market tests a previous day’s high or low twice, it often creates a breakout-pullback pattern. This section explains how to anticipate these moves and profit from them.

🛠 Practical Tips for Swing Trading:

  1. Use Wider Stops with Smaller Sizes: This approach reduces the risk of being prematurely stopped out, while allowing the trade to develop fully.
  2. Leverage the Daily Chart: Combine daily and intraday time frames to align your entries with broader market trends.
  3. Mark Key Levels: Always identify yesterday’s high, low, and key breakout areas for potential opportunities.

Why These Setups Matter

The daily chart provides clarity and structure, helping traders avoid overtrading and focus on high-probability opportunities. Each of these setups offers a repeatable edge, whether you’re trading trends, breakouts, or ranges.
