I’m a swing trader, spending 99% of my time sitting on my hands.
Once I’ve drawn all my S&R areas on my favourite charts using a daily timeframe, I set price alerts and walk away. I hardly touch my charts again.
That’s it.
I only trade when prices hit the prices I am interested in. Otherwise, I find myself overtrading, which I believe is where most day traders go wrong.
So, as far as logging into my brokers and actually placing trades, I’d say it takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour per week.
