I've been trying to learn swing trading over the last few months, largely by leaning on my technical skills (I'm a developer and data nerd). I've been exhausting pretty much every model/tip/trick I can come up with to see if I can get my required win rate down to around 40% and still maintain a positive ROI by focusing on bankroll management, position sizing, and exit strategies. I've come close (at least in historical backtesting) to finding the right combination of input parameters, but ultimately realized I needed to actually learn what a good setup looks like. So I made a little game for myself. Literally as simple as looking at a chart at a particular point in time and deciding: Trade or No Trade? The idea is to get better at recognizing setups, managing risk, and knowing when to walk away, rather than just blindly trusting whatever model I've cooked up that week. Anyway, figured I'd share it with you guys and see if anyone finds it helpful, fun, or any of the above. Unfortunately, I can't publish the real historical stock data just yet (waiting on a licensing agreement... if anyone knows someone, wink wink). But in the meantime, I've created some synthetic market data so you can still play around with it and see how it works. Would genuinely love some feedback, especially from people who actually know what they're doing with swing trading. theshwingtimes.com   submitted by   /u/hupcapstudios [link]   [comments]
