Account Setup
- Start with saving $100/month.
- Open a Roth IRA or taxable brokerage account (e.g., with Charles Schwab).
- Roth IRA: tax-free withdrawals after age requirement and 5-year holding period.
- Taxable account: flexible withdrawals, but taxes apply.
Stock Selection
- Focus on large-cap stocks: slower price movement, easier to analyze.
- Create a watch list from a master list; narrow it using price filters.
- Prefer stocks under $100/share to match small account size.
Buying Strategy
- Use long uptrend swing trading strategy:
- Identify support lines and higher lows.
- Buy at the first or second green bar after confirmation of reversal.
- Buy one share per trade to test compatibility with strategy.
- Avoid over-investing in expensive stocks (e.g., FICO at $1,700).
Portfolio Management
- Expect to hold stocks for months, not days.
- Money will be locked in trades, not liquid.
- Save monthly to build buying power for future trades.
Exit Strategy
- Two methods:
- Time-based: Hold for a period similar to previous uptrend (e.g., 6 months).
- Price ratio: Sell when price reaches a multiple of the entry price (e.g., 2.1×).
- Avoid selling at a loss unless switching to a better opportunity.
Learning & Adjusting
- Use trades as learning tools:
- Track entry/exit with chart arrows.
- Observe how stocks react to strategy.
- Replace underperforming stocks in watch list annually.
Risk Management
- Allocate ≤5% of account per trade.
- Prioritize strategy validation over profit.
- Once validated, increase share count to scale profits.
Final Tips
- Patience is key; large-cap stocks allow time to save and plan.
- Strategy consistency matters more than stock selection.
- Swing trading is a path to financial independence, not quick wealth.
