Strategy overview

Most EMA entries put the average on the chart and wait for a signal; this one puts it a layer earlier, inside a stock screener, where it helps decide which tickers ever reach a chart. Three of the six recorded chapters of Tony Trades' "My Trading Strategy Is Boring, But It Made Me $100,000 (Swing Course)" go to building that screener — market and index first, then the moving average, then volume and price — so the bulk of the preserved timeline is spent on selection, not on triggers.

The order is the strategy's argument. Charts appear only at 3:20, under "Identifying the pattern (consolidation/breakout)," and a minute later the video is already walking a named example (ARM) rather than stating a rule. The recorded arc ends there: no stop, no target, no exit chapter on record, and the "boring" of the title describes a workflow that front-loads filtering and leaves the discretionary read for last.

Two gaps are worth naming. The video is labelled a swing course, yet the timeframes attached to this entry span Daily down to 1 minute, and the record never reconciles which one carries the screen, the pattern, or the execution. And no rule set was extracted for this entry — so this page covers the concept and how the source structures it, not a decoded set of conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What is a stock screener plus EMA swing trading strategy?

It is a two-stage workflow: a screener narrows a large universe of stocks down to a short candidate list using criteria such as index membership, a moving average relationship, volume and price, and the trader then reads price action on the survivors for a consolidation or breakout pattern.

Is the EMA used as an entry signal in this strategy?

In this source, the moving average is introduced inside the screener settings chapter, alongside market and index selection, which places it in the filtering stage. The chart work that follows is described by the video as pattern recognition rather than a crossover trigger.

Which timeframe does this swing strategy trade?

The entry carries Daily plus 1, 5 and 10 minute timeframes. The source is presented as a swing course, so the higher timeframe is the natural home for the screen and the pattern, but the video record does not state which timeframe belongs to which step.

Does this page contain the full rules of the strategy?

No rule set was extracted for this entry, so the page covers the concept and how the video is structured rather than a rule-by-rule breakdown. Strategy Decoder publishes the decoded structure only where it could be reliably extracted from the source.
