SWING TRADING DEFINITIONS

Abandoned Baby -- A 3-bar candlestick reversal pattern. A single bar gaps up or down but then

Bear Hug -- A trading strategy that finds short sale opportunities in weak markets that rally into
resistance or narrow range bars on the verge of breakdown.

the start of a new trend after a prolonged basing period.
