>>> I've discovered if any my swing trades (2 - 5 day period) are down after purchasing and can't get back up to my buy point after a day or so, I sell em. Poor entry.. <<<

That is the correct strategy! Well done!

To be honest, a lot of swing traders (2-5 day time frame) will sell the day they buy if the stock closes down 1% below their entry, and the stock is down on the day. Like you, they chalk it up to poor entry.
