Building a Swing Watchlist

Good swing trades start with a short list of strong stocks that are close to a buy point. Here is a simple funnel for building that list each week.

From thousands to a handful

There are thousands of listed stocks, and you can only watch a few closely. A watchlist is a funnel: start broad with a screen, narrow by strength and trend, then keep only the names that are close to an actionable setup.

Screen broadly, filter for strength and trend, then keep only stocks near a setup.
