Swing Trade Journey
Hello Interwebs!
2021 has been wonderful for me and my family!
I am making progress at work! I am finally moving into a place in my role where I want to be.
Starting April, I am strictly tech support, no more sales attached.
Even more exciting than that, I am learning how to Swing Trade.
Swing Trading is like Day Trading but holding your position longer than one day. You hold overnight, days or weeks. Day Trading means you buy and sell before the market closes.
The benefit of swing trading is flexibility. You can work full-time and swing trade part-time as a side hustle.
My goal is to build enough capital from swing trading to eventually day trade full time
I started learning how to Swing Trade because my Step-Dad, who Day Trades full time, offer to teach me.
I took that opportunity because I knew it was an opportunity to create financial freedom for my family.
In 2016 I began my investing journey with Acorns and Robinhood. My investments were long-term and I knew I would sell them in about 5 years to create an opportunity.
At the end of 2020, that time came. I cashed out and moved the capital to Robinhood for trading capital.
When 2021 rolled around, my learning journey began with joining The Chart Guys trading community. From there I continued to sell more investments from Robinhood to raise my funds.
Today, I am still learning with paper trading and working to raise my funds for better opportunities.
I hope to be fully live by this summer.
I wouldn’t be in this spot today without persistence and patience. Lots of patience.
If you are new to investing, I encourage you to start with Acorns and learn as much as you can about investing. If Day/Swing trading is something you want to do, check out chartguys.com.
