What 8 Months of Swing Trading Taught Me

I spent 8 months trying to outsmart the market…

Only to end up back where I started.

8 months ago, I was convinced I could beat the market.

So I went all in.

I read every swing trading book I could find.

I watched charts for hours.

I practiced entries, tracked setups, and obsessed over timing.

For months, my life was candlesticks and indicators.

After all that work, here’s the truth.

I didn’t lose money.

But I didn’t beat the market either.

All that studying…

All that trial and error…

And I still came full circle.

It turns out the smartest approach was the one I started with long before swing trading even crossed my mind.

• Invest at least 20% of everything you earn in low-cost index funds.

• Don’t touch it for 10+ years.

That’s it.

Simple.
Boring.

But it works.
