I am not from finance, no fancy “markets background.” Just few years of getting punched by the markets & charts, learning how money actually moves, and slowly building my own playbook. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned the hard way, it’s this: Technicals & fundamentals cannot operate in isolation. You need to combine them.

In 2026, there’s a new twist: Markets are slow. Sideways. Uncomfortable. Most people aren’t making money, because sideways markets punish impatience, overtrading, and random ideas. That’s why depending on only one approach (only long-term or only short-term) is risky. The smarter participants run a mix: ✅ long-term conviction capital + ✅ shorter-term swing opportunities.

The only edge: a fixed setup, Not a perfect system. Just one you can repeat. Every trade should answer:

• •
  Why am I entering?
• •
  What makes me wrong?
• •
  What’s my time horizon?

If you don’t have this, no tool will save you. If you do, tools become leverage. Here I am sharing my swing trading workflow that you can replicate and become better at swing trading and use AI to do it, so your efficiency increases massively while reducing the time spent. My Prysm Swing Trading workflow (2 parts)

Part 1: Pre-Trade (Find + Validate)

Part 2: Post-Trade (Track + Review)

Pre-Trade with Pulse

Results, IPOs, filings, and constant headlines make markets noisy. Pulse cuts the noise by showing only high-impact updates like:

• •
  results
• •
  orders
• •
  capex
• •
  product launches
• •
  management changes

Then Deep Dive with AI to ask smarter questions like:
“Will this order actually reflect in revenue by a big margin?” Instead of reacting to headlines, you focus only where attention is justified. If you found a good stock and trying to see its technical analysis for a swing trade , skip the below screener part & move directly to the Technical analysis part.

Pre-Trade with Screener

Traditional screeners are painful: you must know every metric + filter combo.

Prysm Screener lets you screen in plain English, like:

• •
  “Fundamentally good stocks with recent news , suitable for Swing Trading”
• •
  “Good IT stocks with recent product launches, in bullish momentum”

AI builds the logic, finds candidates, and explains why they appeared.

Pre-Trade with Stock Page

A screener gives you a shortlist.But for a swing trade, the next step is simple: open the stock page and answer this question to yourself : “Is this worth trading right now?” The stock page puts the essentials in one place:

• •
  Prysm Score & Rank → quick quality check so you don’t swing trade trash
• •
  Price chart + news events → see if the move is news-backed or random noise

Now the real upgrade is the questions you ask. Click on Chat with Prysm AI

Instead of generic “should I buy this?”, ask:

• •
  “Give me a swing trading setup for this stock”
• •
  “What’s the trend + key support/resistance right now?”
• •
  “Is this breakout strong or likely to fail?”
• •
  “What confirmation should I wait for?”
  

Part 2: Post-Trade (Manage + Review)

Swing trading doesn’t end after entry. That’s where most people get emotional. Post-trade is about staying aware Don't convert your loss making swing trade to long term holding due to a loss. Follow your setup. Book profits / losses as planned.

1) Track the Stock Page

After entering, I keep tracking the Stock Page for:

• •
  fresh news updates that can change the thesis
• •
  upcoming results / events (because swings often move around these)
• •
  news plotted on the price chart so I can instantly see if the move is event-driven or just volatility

This makes the trade feel controlled, not random.

2) Final step: Set an alert

I always end with alerts.

Because I don’t want to keep watching charts all day. And in swing trading, narratives change faster than indicators because news is the driver.

So whenever new news comes that might improve / change my narrative, I adjust accordingly.

That’s the full 2026 swing trading workflow:

Pulse / Screener → AI Technical Plan → Alerts. Simple. Repeatable.
