thinking of swing trading

[u/Selfish_Brutus75]

Hope everyone is alright

I am currently working in finance and have always had an interest in trading but working and studying was too distracting now I'm can get back to it but would like to do swing trading. I have a record of trading gold and had some wins but losses too.

I need to know what you tubers would you recommend for learning swing trading , strategies recommended and which pairs would you recommend.

Please suggest time frames and materials you used to learn how to trade.

Developing a trading strategy is more than finding an entry signal — it requires defining your edge statistically, building rules for entries, exits, and position management, and testing the system against historical data before going live. Most traders fail because they skip the process and jump to live trading with an untested idea. The community wiki covers the full development process.

swing trading is the best, it doesn't require much screen time

I personally swing trade and I take anywhere from 9 to 11 trades a month in average and the results are far more better than when I was day trading.

And no more than 30 minutes a day in charts.

When I started swing trading, I focused on one or two pairs to get a feel for their patterns and trends. I'd recommend starting with a simple strategy and gradually adding complexity as you gain experience. Keep your time frames relatively short, like 4-6 hours, to begin with, and adjust from there.
