We swing trade on daily charts.

I like to use maximum daily chart as it allows you to see the chart from far and have a feel of the chart trend.

When I record swing trading journal, I like to use a 1-month daily chart.

1-month daily chart is good for swing trading journal for the following reasons:

Every single day of the month the market was open is displayed at the bottom of the chart under each daily price bar.

The price bars are big enough that you don’t need to zoom in or out between stocks, saving a few seconds. You just screen capture the chart and paste it in your document or PowerPoint.

To analyze charts to find stocks to swing trade, I use 3-months daily chart.

I swing trade on daily charts, but I use different time frames of daily charts for chart analysis and to record trading journal.

When I use a 3-months daily chart during my chart analysis, I start with maximum daily chart to analyze the stock. Then after I swing trade the stock a few times, I will switch to 3-month daily chart to analyze that stock. But from time to time, during my chart analysis, I will start with maximum daily chart to analyze certain stocks when I feel like I need to see the stock from far to better understand the trajectory of the chart.

The 3-month daily chart is zoomed enough that I don’t need to zoom in or out between stocks saving some time when analyzing stocks on my weekly stock master list.
