Been testing this pendulum approach to trading lately and honestly? The results caught me off guard.

Basically, instead of chasing pumps or trying to time exact bottoms, you swing between positions based on momentum shifts. Think of it like a pendulum - you don't fight the momentum, you ride it until it naturally reverses.

What makes this work? You're not married to any position. When the swing loses steam, you pivot. No emotional baggage, no "hodling" through crashes hoping for recovery.

The trick is spotting those inflection points where momentum actually changes direction - not just noise. Volume patterns help a ton here. So does keeping your position sizing tight enough that one bad read doesn't wreck your week.

Not saying it's foolproof, but if you're tired of the same old strategies going nowhere, might be worth exploring how momentum swings can actually build your portfolio steadily.
