You can estimate to make a return of 0.5 to 1% a day per swing trade on average.
The return can vary per stock and the types of stocks you swing trade.
For instance, I swing trade large capitalization stocks uptrend stocks. These stocks don’t fluctuate much daily. Therefore, the rate of return per trade can be sometimes lower than 1% and sometimes higher when there is a gap-up of the stock price.
As a beginner swing trader, you set a weekly or monthly profit goal for your swing trade.
Periodically, you can check your trades record summary to see what your profits are in relation to your goal.
You could record your swing trades daily in a swing trading recordkeeping workbook to track your purchases, your sales, and the profit after the sales fee.
At the end of the week, you could review your weekly trades and see how much profit you earned for the week.
How to calculate your swing trade profit?
The swing trade profit = your sales amount (the amount you sold all the shares of that stock) – the sales fee – your purchase amount (the amount you paid for all the shares of that stock you sold).
Swing trading return
Your swing trade return = swing trade profit / your purchased amount.
You can calculate the profit and the return rate for each stock purchased when you sold that stock.
Swing trading return on investment
You could calculate the rate of return for the week by taking the weekly profit divided by the value of your brokerage account.
Weekly ROI (Return On Investment) = Weekly Profit / Total Capital invested
You could also calculate the weekly return on investment
ROI (Return On Investment) = Weekly Profit / Total cost of stocks purchased during that same week
How much do swing traders make a week?
Swing trading return depends on:
The type of stocks you swing trade
How long do you hold your swing trades
Your risk tolerance
The type of stocks you swing trade
If you trade large cap companies’ stocks, they may not fluctuate much. Therefore, your swing trading profit will be small.
How long do you hold your swing trades?
If you hold your swing trades through multiple swings, you could make higher profit.
If your average holding time is 3 days, the large cap stocks may not generate higher returns Whitin that short period of time.
Your risk tolerance
If you have a high level of risk tolerance, you might use a swing trading strategy that can generate a higher profit.
