Maybe its as simple as you'd like to make it...simple game of Chess.
Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.
