Overnight & weekend risk
Swing Trading
The gap you can't stop
Swing trading's price of admission: news lands while you sleep. Manage with size (survive any gap), diversification, and never holding leveraged concentrations into events.
Check yourself
Overnight risk is managed primarily by…
- Tighter stops
- Position sizing, small enough to survive any gap correct
- Hope
Stops don't work overnight. The only pre-gap defense is how big you were before it.
