 INTRODUCTION

There are two ways to learn swing trading.

You can try to piece it together from YouTube videos,
Reddit posts, and recycled Twitter threads, hoping to
stumble upon a method that actually works.
Or…
You can learn directly from funded traders who trade
real capital, with real results, inside a real prop firm.
This eBook is your shortcut to the latter.
We’ve gathered the strategies, routines, risk rules,
and mindset of some of Trade The Pool’s top swing
traders; people who passed our swing evaluations and
now trade live accounts with payouts, freedom, and
structure. These aren’t textbook theories. They’re the
setups, tools, and techniques that our traders rely on
week in and week out.
Whether you’re just starting out or trying to improve
your edge, this book will walk you through:
• The exact setups our funded swing traders use
• How they find stocks before the move
• Which indicators actually matter (and which don’t)
• How they manage risk like pros,
even on losing days
• What their daily and weekly routines look like
• And most importantly: how you can
follow the same path
WE’RE NOT HERE TO
SELL HYPE.
WE’RE HERE TO GIVE
YOU CLARITY.
LET’S DIVE IN, AND
TAKE YOU INSIDE THE
MINDSET OF REAL
SWING TRADERS.

SWING TRADING
STRATEGIES
THAT WORK
Chapter 1: Swing Trading Strategies That Work 4
If you’re reading this, you’re probably not looking
for fluff. You want strategies that work. Not
recycled setups from YouTube, not “theoretical
frameworks”, but what real traders use, day in
and day out, to make actual money.

That’s exactly what you’ll find here. We’ve

gathered the exact playbooks of funded swing
traders who passed our evaluations and now
manage Trade The Pool’s capital. You’re going to
see what they look for in a setup, which patterns
and rules they follow, how they manage risk, and
what makes each strategy effective for different
trader profiles.

No theory. Just practical, proven tactics.

Let’s dive in.

Chapter 1: Swing Trading Strategies That Work 5

SHORTING OVEREXTENDED PENNY STOCKS – SABRINA D.
“If it’s up 50%+ premarket, I’m interested.”

Sabrina D. is one of our funded traders known for her

sharp short bias, and a disciplined approach to penny
stocks. While others chase the hype, she fades it.

Her strategy revolves around identifying parabolic

“MY JOB IS NOT TO BE RIGHT gainers – usually penny stocks that have jumped 50%
or more in the premarket – and looking for signs they’ll
OFTEN, IT’S TO SIZE UP WHEN THE reverse. These include signs like thinning volume, heavy
FADE STARTS WORKING.” dilution, and price struggling near key resistance levels.

She begins her morning by scanning stocks with large

premarket gains using tools like Trade-Ideas and
checks daily resistance levels using TrendSpider. Then,
she cross-references float data and dilution signals
(such as S-3 filings or ATM offerings).

Once a ticker meets her criteria, she looks for confir-

mation – a push into resistance with a failed breakout,
fading volume, and rejection near VWAP. Only then
does she enter a starter short, risking no more than
$200. If the trade confirms, she scales in.

Example Trade – ALST (5/2/2024):

$13.28 Shorted VERB at $13.28

after 90%+ pre-market
gap-up fueled by reverse
split hype and CEO
$9.65 valuation claims.

Rumors of a merger and

launch of “GO FUND
YOURSELF!” drove volume
to 37M+—perfect setup
Short x 900 = $3,263 for overextension fade.

Covered at $9.65 as
price cracked VWAP and
failed to hold key support;
dilution risk and liquidity
confirmed downside

LIQUIDITY TRAP REVERSALS – ANNA M.
Anna came to swing trading after day trading proved
too stressful alongside her 9-to-5 job. She brings
surgical focus and patience to her approach, spe-
cializing in fading crowded penny stock rallies.

She targets moves where stocks rally 100%+ in

a day and begin showing signs of exhaustion. Her
“I’M NOT CHASING. I’M LETTING primary focus is on strong daily resistance zones,
float analysis, and Level 2 order flow. If the crowd
THE MARKET SHOW ME WHEN has already piled in and momentum starts fading –
IT’S TIRED. THEN I STRIKE.” that’s her opportunity.

She prepares trades the night before, analyzing float,

social buzz, and liquidity zones. By morning, she has
a clear plan. She only enters when she sees ask
stacking, time-and-sales slowdowns, and momentum
fading. If it doesn’t check all her boxes, she passes.

Example Trade – RELI (Dec 23, 2024 - Jan 7, 2025):

$4.79 Dec 23: Shorted at $4.79

after parabolic wick
hit resistance; Level 2
showed thinning bids
$2.63 and widened spread

Dec 23: Scaled out same

ity dried up as market

Jan 7: Final covers at
$2.63 after clean break-
down; volume spike con-
firmed follow-through, and
L2 showed aggressive
hitting of the bid

Chapter 1: Swing Trading Strategies That Work 7

BREAKOUT FROM CONSOLIDATION – WILLIAM C.
William is a classic breakout trader, influenced by
names like Nicolas Darvas and Mark Minervini. His
focus: tight consolidation ranges following big moves.

Each Sunday, William reviews charts of momentum

runners that have made strong moves (often 100%+),
then entered 20–30 day sideways consolidation. He
“IT’S MATH. I JUST NEED ONE OUT uses simple trendlines, volume tapering, and break-
out confirmation.
OF THREE TRADES TO HIT A 3R
TARGET, AND I’M GOOD.” He risks 1% per trade and expects a 70% failure rate.
His edge? Size discipline, pattern clarity, and emo-
tional neutrality.

Example Trade – BFLY (Nov 4, 2024 - Nov 11, 2024):

Nov 4: Long at $1.95 on

triangle breakout with
tight price action and
declining volume
$2.69
Nov 6: Q3 earn-
ings beat triggered
$1.95 surge; volume spike
confirmed momentum

Long x 2000 = $1,460 Nov 11: Sold at $2.69 into

gap resistance; hit 37R+ on
strict 1% risk rule

Chapter 1: Swing Trading Strategies That Work 8

TREND PULLBACK ON LARGE CAPS – LUKE X.
Luke avoids low-float chaos. He prefers trading large-
cap tech stocks with trend stability and liquidity. Think
Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA, PDD.

His setup: pullback to 5-period SMA on the 1-hour or

4-hour chart, ideally following a catalyst. He avoids
trades before 10:00 AM to skip early volatility, uses ATR
“SWING TRADING FITS MY LIFE. to guide profit targets, and splits his daily risk across
multiple ideas.
I SLEEP BETTER, TRADE BETTER,
AND THINK CLEARER.” His method suits his timezone and lifestyle, and
his discipline shows in his 52% win rate with 2.3R
average reward.

Example Trade – PDD (Oct 2, 2024 - Oct 8, 2024):

$152.69 Entered short

position at $152.69

Added on same day

into weak bounce

Covered at $137.93 for

$137.93 a $2, 208 profit

Short x 150 = $2,208.55

TECHNICAL
INDICATORS
THAT MATTER
Chapter 1: Swing Trading Strategies That Work 10
Swing traders don’t need a dozen indicators.
They need a few powerful ones they fully
understand and apply consistently. Every funded
trader we’ve featured here relies on their own
unique blend, based not on what’s trendy, but on
what delivers real edge.

Let’s break down how our traders actually use

technical indicators in their day-to-day decision-
making.

Chapter 2: Technical Indicators That Matter 11

VWAP (VOLUME-WEIGHTED AVERAGE PRICE)

Used by: Sabrina D.

Sabrina trades short setups in penny stocks that spike “VWAP ISN’T JUST A LINE – IT
hard premarket. VWAP is her compass. When a runner TELLS ME IF THE AVERAGE BUYER
pushes up at the open but fails to hold above VWAP,
that’s her signal that buyers may be exhausting. IS WINNING OR LOSING.”

She combines this with thinning volume and dilution

signals to validate the trade. She’ll only short once the
price confirms weakness below VWAP, often in con-
junction with rejection at daily resistance. Potential short,
weakness below VWAP
Overextended
pre-market

Momentum fading

LEVEL 2 & ORDER FLOW

Used by: Anna M.

Anna doesn’t use traditional indicators as much. “THE TAPE DOESN’T LIE. IF THE
Her edge comes from interpreting Level 2 data and CROWD’S BUYING DRIES UP, I SEE
tape reading. She looks at bid/ask pressure, order
stacking, and spread behavior to gauge whether IT BEFORE THE CHART DOES.”
momentum is fading.

If a stock is showing signs of exhaustion, that is, the

spread widens, volume shrinks, and there’s clear resis-
tance nearby, that’s her go signal.

Chapter 2: Technical Indicators That Matter 12

5-SMA AND ATR (AVERAGE TRUE RANGE)

Used by: Luke X.

Luke keeps it clean. He uses 5-period simple moving “I DON’T CHASE MIRACLES.
average (SMA) to track short-term trend pullbacks on I CHASE PROBABILITY INSIDE
the 1-hour and 4-hour charts. A touch of the 5-SMA
after a catalyst-driven move becomes his entry zone. STRUCTURE.”

He uses ATR to set realistic expectations. If ATR is $6,

he won’t expect to make $12 in two days. He sizes his
targets within the range of what the stock can deliver.

VOLUME & CONSOLIDATION

ing during consolidation, and surging again on break-
out. If volume is still rising during the base, he passes.

He overlays this with basic trendlines to define triangles,

flags, and other classic breakout structures. No fluff.

Chapter 2: Technical Indicators That Matter 13

BONUS TIP: The real key? No indicator works in
isolation. Each trader uses these tools
COMBINING inside a bigger system:

INDICATORS • Sabrina pairs VWAP with dilution & resistance

WITH CONTEXT •
•
Anna matches L2 with sentiment & float
Luke blends 5-SMA with time-of-day and catalyst
• William demands volume + structure + pattern

THIS IS HOW REAL FUNDED

TRADERS DO IT.

HOW FUNDED
SWING TRADERS
FIND THEIR STOCKS
Chapter 1: Swing Trading Strategies That Work 15
Strategies are useless without the right stocks.
That’s why our traders spend as much time
scanning, filtering, and validating setups as they
do managing entries and exits.

Here’s how they each build their watchlists, and

the unique techniques they use to identify high-
probability swing trade candidates. There are
the actual workflows of our funded swing traders:
Sabrina, Anna, William, and Luke. Each of them
has a different style, personality, and schedule,
and they’ve built their scanning methods to fit
that reality.

Chapter 3: How Funded Swing Traders Find Their Stocks 16

PREMARKET SCANS FOR HIGH-FLYERS

Used by: Sabrina D.

Sabrina starts every morning with a scan focused on

premarket movers up 30% or more, with volume over
500K. Her goal: find penny stocks that are gapping up
too much, too fast, with a weak fundamental reason
behind the move. “THE SCANNER SHOWS ME HYPE.
She filters for:
THE CHART SHOWS ME WHERE
• Micro-cap stocks (under $300M market cap) THE HYPE DIES.”
• Daily chart resistance within 5–10%
• History of offerings, dilution, or failed breakouts
• Thin order books that often result in sharp fades

Once she identifies a ticker, she uses TrendSpider

to mark daily resistance, and reads filings (like S-3 or
ATM shelf registrations) to gauge dilution potential.
Only when multiple “fade factors” line up does she start
building a short plan.

EVENING WATCHLIST & SENTIMENT SWEEP

Used by: Anna M.

Anna works a full-time job as a business analyst. She

doesn’t have time to babysit charts all day, so her pro-
cess is all about night-before preparation.

Each evening around 9 PM, she:

• Checks the biggest gainers from that day “I NEED TO SEE THE CROWD
• Filters for tickers that moved 100%+ ALREADY IN THE TRADE BEFORE
• Scans Twitter/X, Reddit, and StockTwits for hype
I CONSIDER FADING IT.”
• Looks for signs of thin float, heavy emotion,
or bagholder traps
• Reviews volume profile and key daily levels

She builds a shortlist of 2–3 candidates. If one of them

shows pre-market liquidity and fails near a known
resistance zone, she executes in the first hour, and lets
the trade run without micro-managing it.

Chapter 3: How Funded Swing Traders Find Their Stocks 17

WEEKLY PATTERN SCAN

Used by: William C.

William isn’t chasing. He’s waiting.

His watchlist begins every Sunday, where he reviews

charts of stocks that exploded recently (typically up
100%+ in the last month), then entered a sideways “MY SCANNER BUILDS
consolidation for 20+ days.
A BACKLOG OF PATTERNS.
His scan includes: I JUST WAIT FOR THEM TO
• Tight price action (flags, triangles, rectangles) COME TO LIFE.”
• Volume tapering (decline during consolidation)
• Strong prior momentum
• Breakout zones above obvious resistance

He draws trendlines manually, sets alerts on breakout

levels, and waits. He might go an entire week without
trading, then enter a breakout with 5:1 reward-to-risk.

TREND & CATALYST FILTERS ON LARGE CAPS

Used by: Luke X.

Luke focuses on large-cap names that most traders

know: Tesla, Apple, NVIDIA, Amazon. His swing trades
“I DON’T NEED 50 TICKERS.
are driven by pullbacks inside trends, and everything I NEED 3 CLEAN ONES WITH
starts with a scan for macro-aligned tech setups. REAL FLOW.”
He filters for:
• High relative volume (RVOL > 1.5)
• Recent earnings/catalyst moves
• 4-hour trend in place, 5-SMA nearby
Pullbacks after
• Range contraction (tight bars before expansion) bullish momentum

He adds a macro layer, using CPI reports, FOMC meet-

ings, or sector rotation to help decide if the market
supports continuation.

He typically trades 1–3 names per week, with strong

familiarity. Furthermore, he’s not chasing momentum,
he’s joining structure after volatility compresses.

Chapter 3: How Funded Swing Traders Find Their Stocks 18

 There’s no one right way to find trades.
KEY TAKEAWAY Some traders scan every morning. Oth-
ers work at night. Some focus on penny
stocks and dilution, others swing pull-
backs in mega caps.

What matters is that you build a scan

routine that fits your edge, your lifestyle,
and your mindset.

RISK MANAGEMENT
FOR SWING TRADERS
Chapter 1: Swing Trading Strategies That Work 20
Every winning trader you’ve met in this book
has one thing in common: they don’t blow up.
It’s not because they’re always right, far from
it. It’s because they manage risk like their life
depends on it.

Risk management is not a backup plan. It’s the

core system that keeps traders in the game
when the market turns, when trades don’t
go as expected, or when emotions rise. Each
funded swing trader featured here passed their
evaluation not just by having a strong strategy,
but by having a solid risk plan and sticking to it.

Let’s break down the risk management rules

these funded traders used to protect the capital,
and stay in the game long enough to win.

Chapter 4: Risk Management for Swing Traders 21

SABRINA D. – SMALL INITIAL RISK, SCALING WITH CONFIRMATION
Sabrina’s strategy involves shorting highly volatile penny
stocks. And she knows these names can move fast
against her, so she builds her position slowly.

Her rule:
• Risk $200 max on initial entry “YOU DON’T WIN BY SIZE. YOU
• Scale only when the trade confirms (VWAP rejec- WIN BY STAYING COOL UNDER
tion, clear fail at resistance)
• Never go above her daily max loss set
PRESSURE.”
by Trade The Pool

This gives her space to survive fakeouts and lets her

size up only when the odds shift in her favor.

ANNA M. – THE ONE-MISTAKE RULE

Anna’s edge isn’t just in spotting reversals, it’s in avoiding
impulsive decisions. She gave herself a personal rule:
only one mistake per day.

That means:
• If she breaks her plan, she closes the trade and
“IF I BREAK MY RULES
stops for the day TWICE, IT’S NO LONGER THE
• If she enters too early or sizes too big, she exits MARKET’S FAULT.”
and journals it
• She won’t chase a “make back” trade to
fix the first one

Her mindset is more important than her indicators.

And that’s why her win rate is so high.

WILLIAM C. – 1% MAX RISK, 3R+ TARGET OR NOTHING

William’s breakout strategy works — but he admits it
has a high failure rate. Hence, he built his model around
strict 1% risk per trade, with targets of 3R or more.

He expects to be wrong more than half the time. But

when he wins — the numbers make up for it. “I DON’T NEED TO BE RIGHT.
His key rules I NEED TO BE DISCIPLINED.”
• Each trade = 1% risk
• No revenge trades
• Stop loss must be technical, not emotional
• Will not take setups that don’t offer at least

Chapter 4: Risk Management for Swing Traders 22

LUKE X. – RISK SEGMENTATION & TIME-BASED ENTRY
Luke’s process is built for survivability. He divides
his daily max risk (e.g., $1, 300) across 3 to 5 trades
instead of putting it all into one idea. That way, one bad
read won’t ruin the day.
“MANAGING RISK ISN’T
In addition: JUST ABOUT POSITION SIZE,
• He only trades after 10:00 AM NY time IT’S ABOUT MANAGING
(less volatility)
• He avoids early entries that might get shaken out
YOURSELF.”
• He uses ATR to size targets based on volatility

This allows him to stay calm, avoid emotional entries,

and reduce exposure to erratic price action at the open.

UNIVERSAL RISK
MANAGEMENT
PRINCIPLES
Across all our funded swing
traders, these principles come up
again and again:

• Fixed % risk per trade (not random)

• Defined stop loss BEFORE entry
• No revenge trades after a loss
• Smaller size until confirmation
• Use firm’s built-in loss limits as protection
• Journal every mistake – and don’t repeat it

THE POINT ISN’T TO AVOID

LOSSES, IT’S TO MAKE SURE
NO SINGLE LOSS CAN TAKE
YOU OUT.

DAILY & WEEKLY

ROUTINE
OF FUNDED SWING
TRADERS
Chapter 1: Swing Trading Strategies That Work 24
Swing trading rewards those who show up
prepared. While beginners often focus only on the
entry, funded traders know that success starts
long before, and continues long afterthe click.

The best traders treat this like a process. They

scan, plan, execute, and review. Again and again.
The routine itself becomes the edge.

In this chapter, we take you inside the actual

schedules of four funded swing traders —
each with a different lifestyle, market focus,
and rhythm. Some trade full-time. Others
balance swing trades with a 9-to-5. But all of
them have structure.

Let’s see how they turn discipline into results.

• After Entry: Logs trade, sets stop,

ANNA M. – NIGHT PREP FOR THE WORKING TRADER

Anna proves that swing trading can fit around 10:00 AM:
a demanding day schedule. Her system is built for • Executes trade only if plan confirms

After Work:
Each night, after work, she reviews the top movers of • Journals trade, reviews execution and psychology
