Universal Swing-Trading Plan

Universal template Medium

Builds a swing-trading plan consistent with the market, holding period, available time, execution constraints, and capacity to absorb losses.

ID 101

Act as a swing-trading mentor. I trade the crypto market from United States with an account of $10,000. I usually hold positions for 4 hours, and my experience is beginner/intermediate. Ask for missing facts, then define instrument selection, timeframes, testable setups, entries, exits, stops, position sizing, risk limits, trade management, journaling, and a 60-90 day progression. Do not assume the approach will be profitable.

Market and Timeframe Selection Matrix

Beginner

Helps select swing-trading instruments and timeframes based on liquidity, volatility, trend persistence, event risk, and available attention.

ID 102

Act as a market-structure analyst. I want to swing trade ETF portfolio. Build a matrix for selecting markets and timeframes based on liquidity, spreads, volatility, trend persistence, gap and news risk, trading hours, and my available 4 hours. Recommend a primary and confirmation timeframe, explain why they fit swing trading rather than day trading or long-term investing, and list the data needed to verify the choice.

Define and Classify Swing-Trading Setups

Medium

Converts trend, breakout, reversal, range, and momentum ideas into precise and repeatable swing setups with invalidation rules.

ID 103

Act as a systematic trading mentor. I want to work with trend pullbacks / breakouts / reversals / ranges / momentum. For each idea, define market regime, structure, exact entry trigger, invalidation, stop, target, time stop, and no-trade conditions. Finish with a checklist that determines whether the setup is valid and identify how each rule can be tested without look-ahead bias.

Swing Entry Timing and Confirmation

Medium

Combines higher-timeframe context with lower-timeframe confirmation without turning swing trading into constant intraday monitoring.

ID 104

Act as a swing-trading execution specialist. Explain how to time entries by combining higher-timeframe context with lower-timeframe confirmation. Define useful confirmations from price structure, volatility, volume, and momentum; distinguish robust rules from over-optimization; and compare early, confirmed, and late entries by expected trade-off, stop distance, missed-trade risk, and evidence needed for validation.

Stops and Risk for Multi-Day Trades

Beginner

Explains stop placement for multi-day positions using structure, volatility, gaps, liquidity, and risk outside regular trading hours.

ID 105

Act as a swing-trading risk manager. Explain how to place stops for multi-day trades using market structure, volatility, liquidity, and holding period rather than arbitrary percentages. Show how to calculate position size, account for overnight gaps and event risk, and distinguish a planned wider stop from an emotional decision that merely delays recognizing a loss.

Swing-Trade Management and Scaling Rules

Beginner

Defines when to trail a stop, take partial profit, add, hold unchanged, or exit without micromanaging a multi-day position.

ID 106

Act as a professional trade manager. Define swing-trade rules for trailing stops, taking partial profits, adding only under preplanned conditions, holding without action, and exiting. Cover strong continuation, slow progress, sharp reversal, and news-driven volatility, and include controls that prevent averaging down impulsively or increasing total portfolio risk unintentionally.

News and Event-Risk Filter for Swing Trades

Medium

Structures decisions around earnings, macro releases, protocol changes, regulatory announcements, and unexpected news during multi-day positions.

ID 107

Act as an event-risk analyst. I swing trade the crypto market. Build a framework for scheduled and unscheduled events such as earnings, economic data, protocol upgrades, regulatory announcements, and breaking news. Define when to avoid holding, reduce size, hedge where appropriate, or retain a position; include gaps, liquidity, correlation, costs, and a post-event review. Require an explicit thesis for accepting event risk.

Swing-Trading Journal and Performance Metrics

Medium

Builds a journal around expectancy, patience, trade management, and execution quality rather than maximizing the number of trades.

ID 108

Act as a swing-trading performance analyst. Design a journal covering setup, market context, holding period, entry, stop, management decisions, exit, costs, and discipline. Define weekly and monthly reviews and explain expectancy in R multiples, MAE, MFE, and duration of winners and losers. Include sample-size cautions and a process for deciding which setups deserve further study before any capital increase.

Swing-Trading Drawdown Review

Medium

Creates a measured response to deteriorating results without abandoning a valid strategy too early or continuing one whose assumptions have failed.

ID 109

Act as a trading-risk and psychology specialist. I am experiencing a drawdown of 20%. Define when to reduce size, pause, and investigate; how to distinguish statistical variation, regime change, execution error, cost drift, and rule violations; and what evidence is required before restoring risk. Include explicit conditions under which the strategy must not be changed and conditions that invalidate it.

Swing-Strategy Validation Roadmap

Pro

Defines a validation sequence suitable for a lower-frequency strategy, from historical data to minimum-size live execution.

ID 110

Act as a trading-system validation specialist. I want to evaluate this swing strategy: describe. Design a roadmap covering historical testing, out-of-sample and forward testing, paper trading, and minimum-size live execution. Define justified sample requirements, regime coverage, costs, metrics, reconciliation, and criteria to pass, pause, reject, or return to research before increasing risk.

How to use AI prompts to plan swing trades

A swing-trading prompt should connect a multi-day thesis to a clear invalidation point and portfolio context. Include the expected holding period and known catalysts so overnight and gap risk are visible.

Define the thesis, market regime, timeframe, catalyst calendar, entry zone, invalidation, targets, and maximum holding period.
Size the trade for volatility and gap risk, then check correlation and aggregate exposure across existing positions.
Plan review dates and alternative scenarios in advance instead of changing the thesis after price moves against the position.
