Hello traders. This thread is for everyone who has an input on how to successfully place SWING TRADES. Many of us have great trading systems but still struggle because they do not understand where to place their trades, stops and take profits and the tfs to execute off of. I hope that this will bring everything about swing trading to light and make it easier for people with more busy schedule to also invest in the financial markets successfully. Like the other thread I started titled "The way I trade" I shall be posting how I see pairs and stocks from a swing trade point of view using my trading style: (ICT). Ideas and strategies are welcome from the community. Thank you....Let's swing this..
USDJPY
I see this pair as interesting at the time of this write up. Interest rate for JPY shows its weak and USD is strong so we expect USDJPY to be bullish, but it's currently bearish from the daily point of view due to the MM sell model seen to be selling off already. This is viewed as a rto to bullish OB and maybe in our focus for when its ready to shoot higher. The sell pattern printed clearly on the daily OB which implies the sell off may be going for a while but let's see. I shall be looking to swing it from the OB to the next Swing high, but for now it will be to scalp sells. 
the lowermost red line is where the daily bullish OB is. Will price tap it or will it stop half way? Let's see becos price is king
Hi everyone, here is what am seeing on weekly. This pair seems to have found support and may be ready to start moving up. Let's look closely when mkt opens to see whether this plays out and give us a good entry long. 
happy weekend

In my honest opinion I see gold retracing deeper to clear the SSL before a continued move up. This applies to foreign currencies though lagging effect cant be ignored. As for USDXXX, it looks like they have found temporary support and I expect some bullish moves to target BSL. The extent of the upmove is left to be seen but here are some charts showing some of the pairs
Your views are welcome pls.
The retracement move on the pairs could be to work the highs and lows of the rand to clear the BSL and SSL depending whether u consider Usd pairs or Foreign currencies respectively. So after they work the range which we see as the new moves counter to the bullish or bearish patterns they resume to complete the patterns. Becos the patterns seen on daily are potent. So more up move for gold and foreign currencies and down move for usd pairs. These are only my views and not a financial advice pls
