Swing traders don't need time-of-day charts. They need to know: was my setup right? Did I manage the position correctly? Did I hold through the drawdown or fold too early? SuperTrader answers all three.

What swing traders discover first
Before you enter, log your thesis — why you're taking the trade, what you expect to happen, your target and stop. After you exit, review whether the thesis played out. This is the most important habit separating improving traders from stagnating ones.
Are you cutting winners too early? Holding losers too long? SuperTrader shows your win rate at every holding duration — so you can see empirically whether holding longer helps or hurts your specific style.
Track every add and trim on a multi-day position. See whether your scaling decisions — adding at breakouts, trimming at targets — are improving or degrading your final P&L versus a hold-everything approach.
Rate your setup quality at entry (1–5 stars). Over time, SuperTrader shows whether your high-quality setups are actually delivering better results — or whether your entry quality rating needs recalibration.
Every open swing trade shows days held, current P&L, distance to target, distance to stop, and thesis status — intact, weakening, or broken. Check in without opening your broker.
The most common swing trading mistake isn't a bad entry — it's forgetting your original thesis and overriding it emotionally on Day 4. SuperTrader keeps it visible every time you check.

SuperTrader insight
Your 2 winning trades this week were both held 5–7 days — consistent with your holding-period sweet spot. The loss (AAPL, −$180) was exited at Day 6 after thesis weakened. Exit was correct per your rules.
Next-week watchlist
Every Sunday, SuperTrader generates your weekly swing review: positions closed last week, win rate, thesis accuracy, average hold, and next-week watchlist management.
Thesis accuracy — the percentage of your exits where your original thesis played out — is the most predictive metric for swing trader improvement. Most tools don't track it at all. SuperTrader makes it the centerpiece of your weekly review.
Who it's built for
Chart-based setups — breakouts, support tests, flags, and wedges. SuperTrader tracks your setup win rate by pattern type and tells you which patterns you execute well and which ones consistently disappoint. Stop trading setups that look good but don't perform in your hands.
Earnings plays, sector rotation, macro-driven catalyst trades. SuperTrader tracks your performance around catalysts — earnings, guidance changes, sector news — vs pure-technical plays. Know whether you have a genuine catalyst edge or whether you're just adding noise.
Rotate between SPY, QQQ, IWM, and sector ETFs. SuperTrader shows your rotation timing accuracy — how often you enter the right sector at the right time — and whether your sector calls have positive expectancy over multiple rotation cycles.
