Gimani Swing Trading


Moving forward I want to incorporate swing trading for a 2 to 5 days hold. I will be going through a master watchlist every Sunday that have a specific scanning criteria. Brings about 500 - 1000 stocks..Will be looking for flags, flattop breakout and breakdown and pullbacks to Ma's. I will do a post on each specific set-up and what I will be looking for. The reason for going through so many charts is to help me becoming better in my chart reading skills. I will be doing a weekly review of all my trades (both day trades and swing) I will create a spreadsheet and update every week. This will include entries, stop and exits.


I believe if I can follow this process for the next six months, it will greatly increase my trading skills.

Keep it tuned for an update.
