Excellent piece, Liz Baker! I have been interested in the markets for several years now, but after a bit of rough going, had taken a pause.

Funny that I have just started an initiative to go through the process methodically, with a plan, and see what I can discover, and one of the first things I discover on Medium is your article!

I relate to everything you mention here. My intention is to capture my renewed journey in this space for fellow Medium members to witness and hopefully enjoy. My belief is that it will teach me whether I can carve out something of value in this focused niche of Swing Trading.

Thanks for the article! I am working on some of my own, and will appreciate any critical feedback you may have for them.
