The Swing Code: What Winning Traders Do Differently

Book Summary

This e-book demystifies swing trading through the real-world playbooks of funded traders at Trade The Pool prop firm. It reveals proven strategies, risk rules, mindset and routines used by funded pros to trade our capital, from shorting overextended penny stocks to breakout plays and trend pullbacks.

Key Concepts:
The book opens with an introduction to learning swing trading from funded pros rather than scattered online sources, then dives into chapters on actionable strategies like shorting parabolic penny stocks (e.g., Sabrina D.'s fade on overextensions with VWAP and dilution checks), liquidity trap reversals (Anna M.'s Level 2 order flow reads), breakout from consolidations (William C.'s Darvas-inspired patterns with volume analysis), and trend pullbacks on large caps (Luke X.'s 5-SMA entries post-catalyst).

It covers essential indicators such as VWAP for spotting buyer exhaustion, Level 2 for momentum fades, 5-SMA and ATR for trend structure, and volume for consolidation setups, always combined with context like resistance, float, and catalysts.

Stock selection workflows include premarket scans for high-flyers, evening sentiment sweeps, weekly pattern reviews, and catalyst filters on mega caps. Daily/weekly routines vary by trader, morning execution, night prep for working pros, Sunday scans, or macro-aware calm entries, to fit lifestyles while building consistency.

Why It’s a Must-Read:
This e-book is a practical blueprint from traders who've earned real payouts, making it ideal for beginners seeking structure or intermediates refining their edge. By sharing exact setups, scans, and mindsets, it shortcuts the trial-and-error of self-taught trading, stressing risk and routine for longevity. Perfect for those eyeing stock prop funding, for their swing trading strategies.
