Swing trading — strategies I run live.

A disciplined swing-trading practice combining technical setups with fundamental catalysts. I sit at the charts daily, watch the news feed, and only take setups where the technicals and the macro story agree.

Candle Range Theory + Turtle Body Soup

Two setups that pair together. Mark the high and low of the first candle as the range. Wait for the second candle to close inside that range. When the third candle opens and breaks the structure of candle two — up or down, depending on where liquidity was swept — that's the trigger to look for an optimal entry. A clean turtle body soup delivers the highest probability; a turtle wick soup is lower conviction and sized accordingly.

Quasimodo (QML) — Reversals

A reversal pattern built on a shifted high/low structure. Price prints a high and a low, sweeps liquidity, then reverses through the neckline — that's the QML shift. Same DNA as the candle range theory: both live off reversal moves, which is exactly what a swing trader wants to catch.

7·1·4 Method (Session Bias)

Daily bias tool on the 5-minute chart, Monday to Friday. Mark the 1 o'clock candle and the 2 o'clock candle with horizontal lines. The direction from 1 → 2 tells you the play from 2 → 3 — price reverses that leg. Down into 2? Bias flips up. Up into 2? Bias flips down. Simple, repeatable, and it keeps you on the right side of the afternoon session.

News & Event Trading

Technicals only get you halfway. I trade high-impact events — ISM Manufacturing PMI, PPI, CPI, and NFP — pairing the release with the same reversal setups above to find optimal entries into the volatility spike, not against it.
