3 Reasons Why I am Now Swing Trading Instead of Day Trading — Brian Weber 07/08/2021

Ever since I started becoming active participant in the stock market over 7 years ago, I have always swing traded. But over the last 2-3 years I attempted to day trade futures, stocks and sometimes options. While I made good money in a short amount of time, I always found it hard to maintain consistency and discipline when price action was moving fast which ultimately meant giving back profits through emotional triggers.

On the other hand with swing trading, I continue to have consistent success following my gameplan while watching my equity curve steadily rise.

These are the 3 reasons why I now only swing trade.

Hey everyone! I'm getting back into the swing of things (literally, lol) and will start posting more content of what I've been up to lately. Mostly bigger picture swing trading and investing. But here is one of my most recent winning trades on $AAPL that hopefully will help you identify future opportunities!

$AAPL formed a mini base under 128 back at the beginning of June after testing its 200day moving average three times. Note that the support held and eventually price broke through the 128 mini-base top on strong volume.

I entered AAPL on the break of 128 while risking only $2 (stop below 126). After price broke out, my gameplan was to simply trail my stop loss below the weekly candle's low with a target profit area back to the all-time high of 143-145.

$AAPL made a huge move to retest its 52 week high today and I took my profits while others might be chasing to think the share price will continue to go up at resistance. Of course it could, but price is extended at a resistance level so the risk is not worth the potential reward.

Now $AAPL is still in a bullish uptrend so I will keep an eye on a re-entry if support holds leading up to earnings on July 27th.

Did you catch the move in $AAPL?!
