Fx Scalping and Swing Lesson

  



Fx Scalping and Swinging approach overview.

1. Many people participate in the forex markets, some as investors, and others as traders. Investing is approached with a long term view in mind, you plan your success and trading meanwhile, moves to pocket gains on a regular basis you can do both only if you master one of them first, hence I said " you plan your success".

2. The most popular trading strategies includes day trading, swing trading and scalp trading choosing a style which suits your own trading approach is essential for your long term success.


 Introduction to scalping and swing trading:-

1. Scalping and swing trading are two of the most popular short - to - medium term investing strategies used by traders.

2. Scalping involves making controlled and limited trades daily in which positions are approached with proper risk management, sometimes you can only hold trades for a few minutes, as such, profits are small, but the risk is also reduced. Only hold trades when the market is respecting your trading setups together with your trading strategy, that gives you leverage over the market.

3. Swing trading uses technical analysis and mastering chart analyzing skills that you need to follow in order to profit off trends and trading setups in the market.



 How to understand scalp trading:-

1. Scalp trading is a method of trading in which traders attempt to make profits on small price changes. Scalpers work quickly, and sometimes trades are made within minutes (or even seconds) however scalp traders open and close positions within a day.

2. Scalping involves entering multiple positions for a short duration, each can last between a few seconds and a few minutes or even a day to profit from price movement. It may limit your profit but also helps by reducing your risks from long term exposure. Scalpers are the ones who dedicate time, act swiftly, and trade with focus.

3. Scalping traders also do not hold their positions overnight because of the added risk of not knowing if prices would change dramatically while they sleep. The holding period of their trades may range from minutes to hours. Scalp traders tend to wait for good trading opportunities. This style of trading involves intense concentration from the trader as positions must be closely monitored on the price charts for a profitable journey.



 How to understand swing trading

1. Swing traders hold their positions for a few days, but not more than a week. Identifying and riding on trends early is the central objective of this trading style, and the profit objective tends to be set higher than that of scalping traders since the swing trader is exposed to more profits by holding out for a few days, there is a better chance of capturing a larger price move. Unlike the scalp trader, the swing trader has to endure overnight risk.

2. As swing trading requires much less minute - to - minute monitoring of the market, this type of trading is generally preferred by people who hold day jobs or have daily busy errands that make it difficult for them to make time to check their trades and monitor like scalping trades. 

3. My opinion is that swing traders must still keep up to date with the latest fundamental and technical chances in the market, even when they are not monitoring the market all the time.

4. Swing trading tend to involve trading strategies such as trend trading, counter trend trading, and breakout trading.

Happy trading.

Symmetric triangle pattern breakout.

 6. Price Action Strategy - Short term counter trade and symmetric triangle pattern. We all know that if the market makes a symmetric triangle pattern and gives a breakout, then it will take a re test to make higher high.  All we know is this, but the fact is even if it gives a breakout at triangle pattern, we need to check if there is any major and strong resistance levels nearby. We will check this example of SBIN and find out the real truth of the market.  In the above image, we can see the SBIN is given a breakout of the symmetrical triangle pattern and took the retest. Every retailer will wait for the re rest to enter in a low price. As we can see in the above image, the market is at major resistance levels, so it may not go up ward and it may surely hit the stoploss of the many retail traders.  As we are trading in SBIN, we can check Bank nifty for double confirmation whether the stock will go down or not. Main two confirmations: SBIN is facing major resistance levels, Bank Nifty

Liquidity Models

🔹 Liquidity is like fuel to move the market in a specific price zone.  🔹 We can find liquidity in zones where a lot of people set their stop losses and buy/sell stops.  🔹 The market makers will manipulate the price to break these obvious zones and take the liquidity.  🔹 These are the most common liquidity patterns.
