Swing Trading for Beginners: Generate a 4.66% Return with "F"
On July 5, 2023, something extraordinary happened. "F", a popularly traded equity, charted an uptrend for the third consecutive day. For the uninitiated, three straight days of growth in the stock market is a positive sign, often viewed by investors as a harbinger of bullish performance.
It's a bit like a stock market adage: "Three straight green days could possibly pave the way for a bountiful month." This saying is based on empirical evidence that indicates when "F" has risen consecutively for three days, the stock has further advanced in 192 out of 293 instances within the following month.
