How do you generally manage swing trades? Do you always buy in small chunks when the long price goes down and vice versa when the short price goes up? What leverage do you use for swings? I think 10x or 20x is great for short scalps, but as soon as I'm no longer at the computer, it's always a bit like playing the lottery and I set my stop-losses very tightly. I haven't had much experience with swings yet. I'm always too impatient and close as soon as I'm a few percent up.

@rolandwenzel4l I always enter swing trades in one sum. I define an entry point beforehand to which I stick almost 100%. At $AMD yesterday it was 150$. The leverage is at least 7-8 but can also be higher than 10. In general, I always aim for at least 50% plus. If I have clearly exceeded this, I set an SL, which I tighten in 25% steps. When I trade spreads in equities with derivatives, I enter at the lower edge and exit at the upper edge and switch to short. However, the first SL is then tight in case the share breaks out above the edge.
