This is an example of stock swing trade I did on my personal account. This is a pullback type of swing trading strategy. It is one of core swing strategies I use for my own trading.
Pullback stock swing trade strategy
I did this trade on January 2014. It was based on a stock ticker from my watchlist I keep every trading day in my stock analysis software. These watchlists are generated by my best stock screeners. These screeners produce many good stock trading opportunities every day.
I use these parameters for this trade as a swing trade setup. The entry at: 51.48, stop loss at 49.50, target areas was in 57 – 58 USD range
This trade setting uses my special technique for setting the entry point. The trade lasted one week and it finished in a profit area. I typically do not trade heavily during first and last weeks of the year, but this opportunity came in a situation when also markets started to move. When you see that the market moves strongly up and down, you can follow their move and trade also your picks in a similar direction.

I record videos describing my trades regularly. These videos are available for free for members of my premium membership site, Richard’s trading club. This is a private blog where I publish many trading ideas and analyses every week.
Detailed journal of my trades is available for my members too. You can watch many stock trade videos based on these trades. These videos of swing trades and position trades contain detailed trade setup and trade management steps performed during the time.
