What time of the day to swing trade: If you have a full-time job, pick a time of the day to swing trade stocks. You can place your swing trades early in the morning before the market opens. At which case you picked stocks to swing trade after you see the 1st green price bar the day before on their up-trending daily chart.

You can swing trade around your lunchtime around noon when the stock market is open and halfway through the day. This allows plenty of time for the stocks to display whether their price will go up that day for you to buy the ones you picked or not.
