Who Thinks Swing Trading is Dangerous?

FYI I do have an algo and it day trades way better than this noob. :)

Anyway, swing trading is something that I wanted to explore for a long time. It's definitely different from day trading and poses a challenge of its own, but I think I can make it work. Let's just see how it goes.
I don't trade ES but you will find with swing trading that there are days you probably shouldn't trade.
 
Did you forget already? This thread is about SWING TRADING. :rolleyes:

Seems to me that what you are doing is not swing-trading, but day-trading with larger stops. After all, the whole concept of "day-trading" doesn't exist in futures, in my mind, since the day is 23 hours long, heh. One can "day-trade" the futures during the overnight hours, for sure.

Look, here is the thing. We've all witnessed you flipping from long to short to long to short during the RTH day, thus your fun moniker of "schizo". But when you go from grabbing a few points per day to a LOT more points per day, wouldn't it be prudent to grab those "swinger" trades for that profit?

I'm not goin' to tell you to tighten your stop \you said not toLOL; nor would i mindlessly buyFRI\sell swing monday, I would rather buy + sell monday.
But since this is a swing trade thread, i would try to limit swings position on singles stocks to 10% AUMor less
I would not call CME workers b*stards, but you may know something i do not[little laugh out loud]:caution::caution:
I've wanted to buy CME stock all year;
but easier to read SPXU, upro/SPXS.I allowed for 50%gap against me with singles stocks even though it never happened \ i know it could:caution::caution::caution::caution::caution::caution:.:caution::caution::caution:,:caution:
