Swing & Position Trading for People with Day Jobs
A practical, higher-timeframe course from Forex Fluency that teaches swing and position trading for busy people: wider stops, smaller size, holding through scheduled news, and a weekly 1‑hour routine. Enrol at https://forexfluency.com/courses and practise on a FREE demo with our partner broker Exness: https://one.exnessonelink.com/a/vwl4i9qqfv. Trading forex on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.
What you'll learn
- Plan higher-timeframe swing trades on daily/4H/weekly charts and define trade validity rules
- Size a position so a stop-out costs exactly X% of the account (use 0.5–2% guidelines)
- Apply the correct position-sizing formula: position size = risk amount ÷ (stop distance in pips × pip value)
- Calculate pip value, margin and lot-size for standard/mini/micro lots and understand leverage effects
- Use Average True Range (ATR) and volatility filters to set wider, sensible stops
- Manage trades across scheduled news and compute swap/rollover costs for holding trades 1–30+ days
- Run a reproducible 1‑hour/day and 1‑hour/week routine: scanning, entries, risk checks and journaling
- Backtest higher-timeframe setups and move from demo to live with a clear checklist
