Introduction:

Most people think swing trading is risky.

And it can be — if you don’t have a system.

But what if you had a step-by-step trading framework designed to control losses, manage risk, and deliver consistent, compounding gains?

That’s exactly what we’ve built.

At Invest Like a Millionaire, we’ve refined a strategy that’s delivered 80% year-to-date returns over the last 12 months — compared to the S&P 500’s 25%. This isn’t magic. It’s math, rules, and discipline.

In this post, we’ll break down exactly how the system works — and how you can subscribe to our swing trading package and start using it right away.

🧠 First: What Is Swing Trading?

Swing trading is the sweet spot between day trading and long-term investing. You hold positions for a few days to a few weeks, aiming to catch short-term momentum.

Why swing trading works for high-income professionals:

You don’t need to stare at charts all day

You only need 3–5 quality setups per week

It helps grow capital faster than passive investing alone

📊 Our Exact Trading Criteria (No Guesswork)

Here’s what we look for before entering any trade. All must be true:

✅ TTM Squeeze Pro

Yellow dots signal volatility compression before a breakout

We enter just as momentum begins to fire

✅ Clean Technical Setup

We look for obvious levels of support, recent breakouts, or pullbacks to strength

Focus is on high-probability setups, not random trades

✅ Risk-Reward Must Be Favorable

Minimum 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio

Trade must justify a 2% potential gain before it's entered

No guesswork. No gut trades. Just rules-based execution.

🚦 Entry Signal: When Setup + Squeeze + Reward Line Up

We only enter trades when all of the above criteria align.

No Reddit hype. No chasing.

Just structure and strategy.

📤 Exit Strategy: Tiered Profits, Tight Stops

Risk management is everything. Here's our rule-based exit system:

🛑 Stop Loss:

Hard stop at -2% loss per trade

No exceptions — we cut losers quickly to protect the account

🎯 Profit-Taking Plan:

Sell 50% of your position at +3% gain

Sell 25% more at +5%

Let the final 25% ride to +8%, or trail it with a stop

This locks in profits early and lets winners run when momentum follows through.

💼 Position Sizing & Portfolio Management

We recommend allocating your capital like this:

Rule Explanation

🚀 Spread capital across 25 trades Reduces individual position risk

🛡️ Max risk per trade: 2% Keeps losses manageable

🔁 Deploy 50–60% of capital Leaves room for flexibility and dry powder

You’re not trying to be right every time — you’re trying to stay in the game, protect downside, and grow consistently.

📅 Weekly Routine (1–2 Hours Max)

Daily:

Act on our alerts (we send 1–5 per week)

Plan entries, exits, and stops based on those alerts

Weekdays:

Check positions 1–2x daily

Adjust stops, take profits, or add to winners

No screen addiction. No overtrading.

📈 Realistic Results: The Math Behind 2% Monthly Growth

We aim for up to 2% account growth per month with risk-controlled swing trades.

Here’s what $30,000 invested could look like if compounded at 2% monthly:

Disclaimer: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Actual results may be better or worse. All investing and trading involves risk.

The goal is consistency, not hype. Over time, disciplined gains compound into serious wealth — especially when paired with passive investing or real estate.
