Part time swing trader sharing my thoughts and journey

SWING TRADE FOR JANUARY: $AMD 235C 1/23 3.5 or lesser. Let’s start the year with a bang! 💥 Like a repost if you love the idea.


Coming into today, I had only two names on my radar: $TSLA (long) and $MSFT (short). My scans were relatively quiet overall, which to me is usually a good signal to slow down and stay patient. When nothing is screaming at me, it’s often best for me to focus on the highest quality ideas instead of forcing trades just to be active. I wasn’t a fan of the gap up across the board this morning. I would’ve preferred to see a gap down into support pivots followed by a rally higher, as that usually offers cleaner risk and better R/R. That said, the market doesn’t care about my preferences, so I just adjusted my focus. $TSLA ended up running right at the open, but once I looked at the R/R, it didn’t make much sense to chase it. The move was extended, and I wasn’t willing to force a long when the entry didn’t line up with my plan. Because of that, my attention shifted almost entirely to $MSFT. The level I had marked was 477, and my plan was simple: if weakness presented itself off the open, I wanted to see that level break. I waited through the first 15 minutes to let volatility settle, then executed the opening range breakdown to the downside. The timing lined up well with the broader market as $SPY and $QQQ both started filling their gap pivots, with $SPY pressing toward LOD and $QQQ flushing before reclaiming. The bigger picture on $MSFT is what made this trade attractive in the first place. On the weekly TF, the chart is showing clear signs of distribution and is trading below all major EMAs. The daily chart reflects the same thing. That context is critical for me, because every trade I take starts from the weekly down to the daily, then works into the intraday execution. I’m not interested in shorting strong weekly uptrends; I want alignment across timeframes, and $MSFT has that on the downside right now. I’ve got a decent cushion on the remaining position and plan to treat this as a swing as long as my stop at breakeven doesn’t get hit. If the structure continues to work, I’ll stay with it. If not, I’m perfectly fine getting taken out flat. The trade has already done what I needed it to do. Days like today are a good reminder that less is often more. You don’t need a long watchlist or constant action to have a productive session. The best trades come from waiting, letting the market show its hand, and then executing when price lines up with your higher timeframe thesis.
