The basic idea of swing trading is a combination of bottom fishing and trend following strategies. The investor acts strictly trend-following by acting exclusively in the direction of the prevailing trend and taking advantage of entry opportunities where the price is close to the technical chart guidance line that accompanies the trend, be it a trend line or a moving average. He is betting that this guiding light will once again become a springboard for a new trend impulse. The advantage of swing trading is that the investor enters close to the zone that is crucial for the trend and is therefore able to work with tight stop prices.
