In Design Your Own Trading Methods: Part 1, we developed an understanding of the different phases of a swing cycle and how it moves in contraction/expansion so we can develop tactics for various parts of the cycle. In this next step, I go over some of the principles of price flow and define the components, and process of a swing so we have an objective frame of reference. With just this step of mapping, you never have to ask anybody what they think about a particular market, you just look for yourself and see what is true.
