What is Swing Trading?

Swing trading captures "swings" — price moves within a larger trend. Unlike day trading (exits same day) or investing (months/years), swing trading holds for 2–7 days, catching the meat of a price move. In NSE 100 stocks, a 10% move per week is achievable but requires strict discipline.

The 10% Reality Check

10% per week compounded = 142x annually. This is not realistic every week. Target 3–4 qualifying trades monthly, not every week. Professionals aim for 40–60% annual returns.

The 5-Layer Framework

1. Market Context

Is Nifty trending? Sector rotation? Macro events?

2. Stock Selection

Filter NSE 100 by momentum, volume, relative strength

3. Chart Analysis

Pattern + indicator confluence at key price levels

4. Entry Execution

Trigger candles, precise entry, stop placement

5. Trade Management

Trailing stop, partial profit, full exit rules

Expert Consensus — What Actually Works

Mark Minervini

SEPA methodology — buy fundamentally strong stocks at precise technical breakouts with tight stops. 97% win rate years proved it's about quality of setup, not frequency.

William O'Neil

CAN SLIM — buy stocks with strong earnings, new highs, institutional buying, and market follow-through days. Cup-with-handle and flat base patterns remain the most reliable breakout setups.

Stan Weinstein

Stage Analysis — only buy in Stage 2 (advancing), never in Stage 1 (basing), never in Stage 3 (topping), never in Stage 4 (declining).

Nicolas Darvas

Buy breakouts from "boxes" (tight consolidation ranges) with expanding volume. Works exceptionally well on NSE mid and large caps during trending markets.

Richard Dennis

Turtle trading rules — trend following with defined entry/exit rules removes emotion. The system wins by cutting losses ruthlessly and letting winners run.

IBD Methodology

Relative Strength Rank, Earnings growth, and institutional accumulation are the three pillars. Applied to NSE 100: focus on stocks where FII/DII are actively accumulating.
