I have a very simple method for swing trading in cash stocks.

With a Tradingview script at the end, here is a thread🧵 on my Simple Swing strategy: 👇

The Simple Swing indicator is based on T3 Moving Average, which was first described by Tim Tillson, in the search for a “perfect” moving average.
The T3MA incorporates a smoothing technique which allows it to plot curves more gradual than common MA & with a smaller lag.

During most of the time in a trend, price will stay well away from the T3MA. Thus, a decisive close beyond the T3MA often indicates the end of a trend.
The T3MA ribbon consists of a fast and a slow moving average (MA).

The ribbon is green when the fast MA is above the slow MA. This green ribbon represents the upswing. Similarly, the red ribbon represents the downswing.
The traditional signals are based on crossovers between fast & slow MA. These are the green & red ribbons representing the “confirmed” swings.

These traditional signals are lagging. So, we use the Early Swing signals.
Early Upswing starts when T3 ribbon is red, but price has closed above the ribbon. This is the E0 candle.

Similarly, Early Downswing starts when T3 ribbon is green, but price has closed below the ribbon. This is the Ex candle.
The Entry is taken above the high of the E0 candle. Look for constructive price action at this juncture, preferably a descending trendline breakout.
The major part of an exit strategy in swing trading is selling into strength.

Here, we exit based on 2 “sell into strength” components & 1 “trend-following” component.
You can scroll down my timeline to review a number of trades taken by me with the SimpleSwing strategy.

The swings are an inherent nature of the markets, so with proper risk management, the strategy is bound to be profitable.

Hope you find the Simple Swing concept useful. I thank my friend @J250717, without whose help this strategy wouldn’t have seen the light of the day!

Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
