But, I tend to take on "riskier" set-ups and some that he might otherwise pass on. From day to day, yes there are variations. But week to week and month to month they tend to even out, and most weeks and months present the same # of good set-ups. Truth is, there are more than enough good set-ups...I would guess I find maybe 5% of them.

As you stated, your daytrading is approximately the same as X's. Did you mostly arrive at this style of daytrading independently or through close collaboration? Also, do you experience significant variations in the number/ availability of good daytrade setups across months of the year and/or across days of the week? Thanks. Tom – good stuff!

The two are completely seperate. On the swing set-ups I am looking at Fibonacci levels from the past year's high/low. Most of the stuff I do in swing trading is what I learned from TRADEthemove, and then tweaked to make it my own. I try to keep it really simple and only look at Fibs and Moving Averages.

I've learned a lot from you and X. You have posted a few swing trade charts in the past. Could you elaborate on the differences, if any, you look for in a swing set-up? Do you ever decide to stay in a day trade and make it a swing trade? Alan Tom-
