We are all on a journey to find the best trading/investing strategy that both fits our personality type and makes the most profit.
I currently swing trade mid-cap stocks, with the aim of finding stocks whose pump is primed and are ready to make a move.
In doing so, I hope to only be in the market during higher probability times, without having to sit through pullbacks and loss of profits. My average trade is roughly 3-6 days.
The down sides of this approach are that it takes a lot of time and work, and the timing of trades has to be pretty darn accurate. Not to mention more commissions.
However, I continue to be drawn to the idea of not being in the market during pullbacks. In theory I won't catch any giant fish this way, but I won't lose my shirt either.
Just curious to hear from anyone who has tried longer term trading strategies vs. shorter term strategies, and which ultimately worked out better.
For me Guppy Moving averages have been the best. I sometimes jump the gun getting out only to have the Guppy moving average tell a different story. Can I call this a long or short term strategy as it depends what the averages are saying.
