“SWING TRADER”
Using an intermediate time frame, usually a few days to a few weeks, swing traders will
identify market trends and open positions. The name swing trading comes from the fact
that we are looking for conditions where prices are

likely to swing either upwards or
downwards.
Swing traders can use a wide array of technical indicators. These indicators are used to

occurred.
The next step is to identify the bearish or bullish trend and look for reversals. Reversals
are often referred to as pullbacks or countertrends.
