How We Swing Trade with a Full-Time Job Using a Long Uptrend Swing Trading Strategy
1. Time Management Strategy
- We aim to keep our swing trading routine within 1 to 1.5 hours per day:
- Morning (1 hour): Analyze charts before work.
- Lunch (30 minutes): Review portfolio and place trades.
- Weekend (30 minutes): Recordkeeping and review.
2. Chart Analysis Routine
- We maintain a master list of ~300 stocks, narrowed down to a watchlist of ~80.
- Each morning, we:
- Review charts using the long uptrend swing trading strategy.
- Look for stocks near support lines (valley of the “mountain”).
- Highlight potential buys in red.
- We buy when a stock starts rising from the support line and sell near a peak.
3. Swing Trade Execution
- During lunch, we:
- Check our portfolio for profitable stocks to sell.
- Re-analyze red-marked stocks for buying opportunities.
- Place trades if conditions are favorable (e.g., green bar confirmation).
4. Recordkeeping
- We log:
- Purchases and sales with arrows on charts.
- Dividend income.
- Weekly account history (CSV export).
- This helps us track performance and estimate quarterly taxes.
5. Swing Trading Strategy Comparison
- 2024: Used short uptrend line swing strategy—frequent trades, more bookkeeping.
- 2025: Using long uptrend swing trading strategy—fewer trades, less recordkeeping, but more capital tied up in stocks.
6. Financial Planning
- Swing trading profits can be used to:
- Cover basic monthly expenses.
- Invest in rental properties.
- We budget for fixed and irregular expenses, allocating leftover funds to our brokerage account.
7. Tax Considerations
- We trade in a taxable brokerage account, not a retirement account, to keep funds accessible.
- We estimate taxes quarterly based on profits.
8. Final Thoughts
- Swing trading is a way to build a secondary income stream.
- It’s not about quitting our job, but about using our paycheck to fund trades and using profits to support our lifestyle.
- With discipline and health, we can achieve our financial independence.
