Getting Started on the Jack Corsellis Platform 

The platform is designed for both Swing Traders and Day Traders.  You don't need to be at a screen during market hours to use this platform.

You will see a lot of intraday content on the platform such as live trading rooms, opening range breakouts, five-minute charts, multiple monitors. If that isn't compatible with your working life, you can ignore all of it.

The swing trading side of this platform is built around a different rhythm: analysis done in the evening or at the weekend, orders placed in advance, positions developing over days or weeks. The work happens when you're free, not when the market is open.

In one minute: this platform teaches my two approaches to trading leading stocks — swing trading and day trading — built on one shared methodology. Which one I personally emphasise depends on the market environment. Some periods suit swing trading. Others don't, and in those periods I tend to focus more intraday.

You do not need to learn both. Pick the one that fits your life, and I'll explain my thinking as the environment changes.

 

Choose Your Trading Path 

Swing trading

Who it's aimed at: people with full-time commitments who can't watch the market during open hours, or only limited open hours, and who prefer to do their analysis in the evenings plus an hour at the weekend.

What you'll study: how I identify leading stocks setting up near key daily moving averages (10-Day EMA, 21-Day EMA, 50-Day SMA), how I use buy stop limit orders around Trigger Bars (TBs), Shakeout Demand Tails (SDTs) and Gap Down Reversals (GDRs), and how I use moving averages as trailing stops to manage a position.

What it involves: daily-chart analysis outside market hours. No screen time required during the session, though positions carry overnight risk.

Intraday trading

Who it's aimed at: people who can be at the screens during the US open, or at least for the first 60–90 minutes.

What you'll study: Opening Range Breakouts (ORBs), Intraday Mean Reversion Long (INMERELO) and Intraday Mean Reversion Short (INMERESH), executed on five-minute charts with daily-chart context.

What it involves: pre-market preparation plus live session time, most days. It is demanding of attention and not compatible with most full-time jobs. I use multiple monitors to help identify opportunities.

➡️.  Go to the Intraday Trading Hub

Both

Most members start with one and add the other later. If you want the full picture, start with the swing path — the daily-chart work underpins the intraday work as well.

How the swing approach works around a full-time job

This is the mechanism that makes the swing path workable for people with demanding jobs, so it's worth understanding early.

1. You identify candidates in advance. Leading stocks pulling back towards their 10-day EMA, 21-day EMA or 50-day SMA. This is daily-chart work, done in the evening or at the weekend.

2. You define the setup and the invalidation before the open. A Trigger Bar (TB), Shakeout Demand Tail (GDR) or Gap Down Reversal (GDR) gives you a specific price at which you'd consider the setup confirmed — and a specific price at which you'd consider it invalidated. Both decided while you're calm and away from the market.

3. You place your order in advance. A buy stop limit order with good till cancelled stop loss order sits in the market. If price trades up through your trigger, the order may fill. If it doesn't, no position is opened. You don't need to be watching for this to happen.

4. You manage on the daily chart. Trailing stops are adjusted against the daily moving averages — a few minutes in the evening rather than a live task.

What this does not do. It doesn't remove risk. Buy stop limit orders may not fill at all in fast markets, or may fill differently than expected. Stop losses do not protect against gaps — a stock can open well below your stop after news, earnings or a weekend, and you can lose considerably more than planned on that trade.

The Methodology

Whether a position is held for six weeks or sixty minutes, every trade I take runs through the same four questions:

  • Phase 1: How do you identify a high-quality trading opportunity that meets your criteria?
  • Phase 2: How do you control the risk to create an asymmetric risk to reward trading opportunity?
  • Phase 3: How do you mitigate risk to 'freeroll' the trade?
  • Phase 4: What are the selling rules and guidelines you'll use to optimise profits?

Identify → Control → Mitigate → Optimise. The setups differ between swing and day trading. The framework doesn't. You'll see though through resources on the platform how I can transtion my 'day trading setups' such as Opening Range Breakouts (ORBs) and Intraday Mean Reversion Longs (INMERELOs) into swing trades from a management perspective subject to the action of the stock.

My approach is methodical and process-orientated. That's deliberate: process is the part you can actually work on and improve, and it's what we focus on in coaching and trade reviews.

The Market Environment 

This is the idea that shapes everything else on the platform, and it's why I don't present myself as purely a swing trader or purely a day trader.

My view is that certain market environments suit swing trading and others don't.

Environments I consider more constructive for swing trading

Generally when the US major indexes (SPY, QQQ) are trading above their 10-Day and 21-Day EMAs, with those moving averages sloping upwards. In my experience, leading stocks in that environment are more likely to pull back to their own moving averages and continue their uptrends and overnight risk is more warranted given the larger potential return of a trend continuation.

Environments I find harder for swing trading

When those moving averages are flattening or sloping downwards. Breakouts fail more often, pullbacks turn into breakdowns, and stops get hit. It's possible to grind an account down doing exactly the same thing that worked well a few months earlier.

In those conditions I personally reduce swing exposure, tighten my criteria, and lean more on intraday opportunities where risk is defined within the session and there's no overnight gap exposure. In essence, I'm looking to optimise for shorter term momentum.

How you'll see what I'm doing

Across the platform you'll see my current read on the environment:

  • SWING-FAVOURABLE — indexes above rising 10 & 21 EMAs
  • SWING-CHOPPY — mixed, moving averages flattening
  • SWING-HOSTILE — indexes below 10 & 21 EMAs and sloping down

This is my personal, subjective assessment of conditions, published so you can follow my reasoning and see how I think about market context. It is not a signal, a recommendation, or an instruction to trade or not trade. It can be and sometimes will be wrong. Your own trading decisions remain entirely your own, and you should size and manage risk accordingly regardless of what it says.

What it's useful for. If you're studying the swing approach and my read has moved against it, that's context for why setups may be failing more often — not a reason to force trades, and not a guarantee that any particular trade will work when it moves back. Learning to recognise unfavourable conditions and step back is, in my view, one of the more valuable things a trader develops.
