- Expectation: Ideally 3-5R

- 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.
