Simplicity of Swing Trading

One of my favorite trades recently was an over the weekend swing. Market was just about to close on Friday, you could feel it winding down, I quickly opened up my charts in TradingView and saw my setup for a quick swing. I grabbed 10 $50 contracts for Monday's expiration and closed up my laptop.

Monday rolled in and I set 1 to sell at market open as we did get a beautiful push over the weekend just as my charting had told me. My jaw dropped once I realized the move was more significant than I initially thought in pre-market and started selling more to capture my profit.

With a $500 investment I closed out those 10, $50 contracts for a $5893.39 gain minutes after the market opened.
Where can you legally hand over $500 with this kind of return? Options trading is where it is at!
I watched others have beautiful winning trades for years, kept my focus on learning what the charts where telling me and I am so incredibly grateful for a skill I can now share with my family and in turn bless them as well.
I've been a business owner since I was 19, but this hits different. It's me vs me, I am responsible for the trades, no one is doing it for me, & taking a cut of the profits, no business pitch to deliver, no sales goals to stress over.
I am responsible to simply show up, evaluate the charts, create a plan and then execute.
I gave it up for a time but came back the second time ready and right where I needed to be in life to succeed. Gods timing is always perfect! I sit in gratitude daily for the blessing that is trading.
-Just a girl now walking out those prayers I prayed for so many years.
Don't give up on those dreams, the end result is so worth it.









Amazing! Congrats! What setup did you see before market close on this one?
