Hey, I’m Magnus.
I’m a full-time swing and position trader from Sweden, now living in southern Spain. I trade U.S. markets, and the time difference works well for my routine. I can start the day without rushing, get work done before the open, and prepare for the session.
How I Got Started Trading
I worked as a car mechanic for many years, starting at a young age. Later, I moved into building websites and became a full-time entrepreneur. That work got me interested in how to grow and manage capital, which eventually led me to investing and trading.
I started actively trading stocks in 2022, after first getting into crypto in 2020. What began as curiosity became a daily interest in charts, market structure, and understanding my own behavior as a trader.
My Trading Style
Most of my trades are swing or position trades that play out over several days or weeks. I’ll occasionally take a day trade when volatility and conditions line up. My approach is straightforward: price action, risk management, and patience. I spend far more time waiting than trading, and focus on setups that make sense to me.
This website is my public trading journal. I share my watchlists, trade ideas, lessons learned, and how my strategy changes over time. I don’t have all the answers or pretend to. I’m documenting the process, staying accountable, and working to improve one trade at a time.
If you’re new to swing trading, start with my beginner’s guide or read about the rules I use.
I hope this site helps you understand how I approach swing trading and gives you useful ideas as you develop your own process.
