Happy Saturday! 🚀 My Strategy for Reaching the #1 Spot this Week
This week has been incredible in the Moomoo Money Master Paper Trading Competition, and I’m thrilled to have claimed the top spot! 🎯
Let me share a bit about the strategy that got me here, and why swing trading was my approach of choice.
Day Trading vs. Swing Trading – What’s the Difference?
Day trading involves buying and selling stocks within the same day, aiming for quick profits from small price movements. It's fast-paced, requiring constant attention to market moves. Swing trading, on the other hand, involves holding positions for several days, even weeks, to capture larger price swings.
Why I Chose Swing Trading
With the competition lasting just one week, swing trading was the perfect balance for me. Here’s why:
- Short duration: The market can shift significantly over a few days, and swing trading allows me to ride those bullish trends and capitalize on the momentum.
- Letting winners run: When the stock shows bullish potential, swing trading gives it room to breathe and move higher, rather than closing out too early like in day trading
The Pitfalls of Day Trading
Day trading can be tempting, but it comes with some risks:
- Over-trading: The more trades you make, the more mistakes you’re likely to encounter. With constant buying and selling, there’s a greater chance of chasing prices or missing ideal entry points.
- Missed opportunities: If a stock moves quickly, you may not get in at the desired price. This leads to frustration and can force poor decision-making under pressure.
For this week, sticking to swing trades has been key to avoiding these issues and locking in those gains!
Looking forward to another strong week ahead. Let’s keep this momentum going! 💥

KahFei㉿ : Wow~
meows27 : Great strategy using China ETF.
Southgate : Agreed with your point raised. The inability to get in at desired price often lead me to aggressively chase after prices for fear on missing out and it created tonnes of poor decision-making in the heat of the moment.
