Universal Swing Trading Strategy Builder

Universal template Medium

Builds a complete swing trading framework aligned with your market, timeframe, lifestyle, and risk tolerance.

ID 101

Act as a professional swing trading mentor. I trade crypto market in United States with an account size of $10,000. My holding period is typically 4 hours. My experience level is beginner/intermediate. Design a complete swing trading framework for me: market selection, timeframe structure, setup categories, entry/exit logic, stop placement, position sizing, risk limits, trade management rules, journaling approach, and a 60–90 day skill progression plan. Ask clarifying questions if needed.

Market & Timeframe Selection Matrix

Beginner

Helps traders choose the right instruments and timeframes for swing trading, avoiding overtrading and noise.

ID 102

Act as a market-structure analyst. I want to swing trade ETF portfolio. Build a decision matrix to select optimal markets and timeframes for swing trading based on liquidity, volatility, trend persistence, news sensitivity, and my available screen time 4 hours. Recommend primary and confirmation timeframes and explain why they fit swing trading rather than day trading or investing.

Swing Setup Definition & Classification System

Beginner

Converts vague ideas like “trend trades” or “mean reversion” into clearly defined, repeatable swing setups.

ID 103

Act as a systematic trading coach. I want to swing trade using these ideas: trend pullbacks / breakouts / reversals / ranges / momentum. For each idea, define a precise swing setup including market condition requirements, structure criteria, entry trigger, invalidation logic, profit targets, time stop, and no-trade filters. End with a checklist that determines whether a setup is valid or not.

Entry Timing & Confirmation Playbook

Medium

Improves timing by aligning higher-timeframe bias with lower-timeframe confirmation without drifting into day trading.

ID 104

Act as a swing trading execution specialist. Show me how to time entries using higher-timeframe bias and lower-timeframe confirmation. Define which confirmations are acceptable (price structure, volatility contraction/expansion, momentum shift) and which are over-optimization. Provide examples of early entry, optimal entry, and late entry, and explain the trade-offs of each.

Stop Placement & Risk Structure for Multi-Day Trades

Beginner

Teaches robust stop logic that survives overnight risk, gaps, and volatility expansion.

ID 105

Act as a risk manager for swing traders. Explain how to place stops for multi-day trades based on structure, volatility, and time horizon rather than arbitrary percentages. Show how to size positions accordingly, how to account for overnight gaps, and when widening a stop is logical versus emotional.

Trade Management & Scaling Rules

Beginner

Defines how to manage trades over days or weeks without micromanaging or panic exits.

ID 106

Act as a professional trade manager. Build swing trade management rules for me: when to trail stops, when to take partial profits, when to add to a position, and when to do nothing. Include clear rules for handling strong continuation, slow grind, sharp reversals, and news-driven volatility.

Swing Trading News & Event Risk Filter

Medium

Helps traders handle earnings, macro releases, and unexpected news without destroying their edge.

ID 107

Act as an event-risk analyst. I swing trade crypto market. Create a framework for handling scheduled and unscheduled news events (earnings, economic data, protocol upgrades, regulatory announcements). Define when to hold through events, when to reduce size, when to exit entirely, and how to adjust risk before and after major releases.

Swing Trading Journal & Performance Metrics

Medium

Builds a journal focused on expectancy, patience, and execution quality rather than frequent trades.

ID 108

Act as a trading performance analyst. Design a swing trading journal template that tracks setup type, holding period, entry quality, stop logic, trade management decisions, and emotional discipline. Define weekly and monthly review questions, expectancy metrics (R-multiple, average win/lose duration), and a method to identify which setups deserve more capital.

Drawdown & Recovery Protocol for Swing Traders

Medium

Creates a structured response to drawdowns without abandoning a valid strategy too early.

ID 109

Act as a trading psychologist and risk coach. I am experiencing a drawdown of 20%. Create a recovery protocol: when to reduce size, when to pause trading, how to diagnose whether the drawdown is statistical or behavioral, and how to reintroduce risk safely. Include a “do not change strategy unless” rule set.

Swing Trading Strategy Validation Roadmap

Pro

Provides a long-term validation process suitable for lower-frequency trading styles.

ID 110

Act as a trading systems mentor. I want to validate a swing trading strategy: describe. Build a validation roadmap covering historical testing, forward testing, live micro-size execution, and capital scaling. Define minimum sample sizes, key metrics to track, and clear pass/fail criteria before increasing risk.
