Introduction Compact

I’m looking to share swing-trading strategies and method with like-minded traders. Hoping to get some feedback on my trades. Possible pick up a few pointers as we progress.

I will post my trades as close to real time as possible.

Post will include my entry, stop price and initial target for each trade.

Please feel free to comment or ask questions. I hope to learn from this exercise.
