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 helps you answer all three.

Interactive demo
Tag each trade with its setup and SuperTrader breaks your results down by setup — next to how long you hold your winners and your losers. All data is pre-built for the demo.

Total P&L by setup
Average hold time · all closed trades
You hold losers longer than winners
Your losing trades are held longer than your winning trades.
Set a maximum hold time for trades that aren't working.
Hold time is calculated across all your closed trades, not per setup.
What swing traders discover first
Before you enter, write your thesis in the trade's notes — 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 compares your average hold time on winners and losers, and Analytics flags it when you hold losers longer — so you can see whether your exits match your plan.
Every add and trim on a multi-day position stays on the same trade as a fill, and trade replay plots each fill on the chart. Review whether your scaling decisions — adding at breakouts, trimming at targets — helped or hurt your final P&L.
Rate every trade from 1 to 5 stars in the Reflect step. Review your rated trades next to their results to see whether your high-rated setups actually deliver better results — or whether your rating needs recalibration.
Write your thesis in the trade's notes when you enter. Your Portfolio page shows every open position with its unrealized P&L, and on Pro, Thesis Drift compares your entry note with the journal notes you've written since.
The most common swing trading mistake isn't a bad entry — it's forgetting your original thesis and overriding it emotionally on Day 4. Thesis Drift uses AI to flag it when your later notes start rationalizing the position instead of following the original plan.

Weekly swing review · Week of May 5–9, 2026
Week of May 5–9 review
Reviewed Sunday, May 11 · With Max
Max's take
Your 2 winners this week were both held 5–7 days. The loss (AAPL, −$180) was cut on Day 6 when support failed — a small loss next to your winners. Keep sizing the same way.
Next-week watchlist
Run your weekly review in minutes: the P&L calendar shows the week day by day, Analytics breaks down your closed positions by setup and symbol, and you can ask Max to review your week from your own trades.
Thesis accuracy — the percentage of your exits where your original thesis played out — is one of the most useful things to review each week. Keep your thesis in each trade's notes and mark in the Reflect step whether you followed your plan.
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. Tag your catalyst trades — earnings, guidance changes, sector news — and SuperTrader compares them with your pure-technical plays. Earnings Exposure (Pro) also flags open positions with earnings in the next 7 days.
Rotate between SPY, QQQ, IWM, and sector ETFs. SuperTrader shows your win rate and P&L on each ETF you trade, and Correlation Risk (Pro) warns you when more than 35% of your open exposure sits in one group.
