Matt Petrallia CMT is a professional trader with more than 20 years of experience blending both swing trading and position trading strategies. While some traders supersize positions on volatile stocks to try to earn super performance Matt is more focused on staying mentally balanced while his account climbs higher.
In this video Matt discusses his approach the pros and cons to both swing and position trading along with his guidelines for each. Matt will always determine which category a trade fits in before he makes it. This way he always knows which set of rules to follow which in turn reduces the mental stress of trading.
Swing Trading:
- Catching short to medium term 'swings' in price
- Compound account quickly; high turnover
- Duration: 1 day to 2 weeks (market dependent)
- Trading time frame: daily charts
- Expectation: Ideally 3-5R
Position Trading:
- Catching medium to long term price trends
- Requires sitting through pullbacks / earnings reports
- Focus on weekly charts - fine tune with daily
- Requires some knowledge of fundamentals
- Lasts anywhere between one week to many months or even 1+ years
- Larger R Multiple return is possible but comes with opportunity cost.
He concludes by encouraging viewers to embrace failure and use it as a learning tool stating that traders who rush the process of attaining trading knowledge are more likely to fail. Matt stresses to always be in trade alignment: Time Frame, Duration, and Expectation.

    This has got me into rethinking my whole selling strategy. I can totally relate, specially, in a choppy environment - how awful it feels to see a trade run and then ultimately throwing you out at breakeven. This method of taking partials so that you can hold onto your position trades longer psychologically and easily has really got me into thinking again.

    Nice guest, I think he’s onto it in that sense that it’s all so personalised. Minervini talks about style drift being an account killer, but that doesn’t mean not following someone else’s style to a T. I think it means not following your own style to a T. Matt has shown us here an example of how to clearly follow your own style, his early delineation of ‘swing vs position’ before taking a trade and the way he takes risk off early because he knows it’s the only way for him personally to keep holding. It shifts around with market conditions and conviction but it’s not random either. It’s tailored to his own personality and that’s what makes his system sustainable for him.
