After many years of being in the game (a lot of those years spent struggling) here’s what I’ve found to be the best swing trading setup
This is all I focus on trading, and I really believe you can build a trading career around this










This is the setup I was taught and the setup that’s proven to work for me consistently. Over the years, anytime I strayed from this setup I struggled. Master a setup > bounce from strategy to strategy!
When a momentum stock in a strong uptrend “pauses” and squeezes on a major time frame, holding above its 21ema with a positive histogram, this is one of the highest-probability long setups you can trade. If a setup doesn’t fit this criteria, I completely ignore it! That simple.
