Short, dated notes on swing trading and momentum stocks. Each one takes a single idea from our guides and applies it to a real situation, in a few minutes of reading.
The price that proves your idea wrong should be known before you buy. Position size, reward-to-risk and the decision to trade at all are built on it.
Every topic below has a complete guide in our library. Open a topic to read the guide, then come back to the notes that apply it one situation at a time.

How the notes fit the library
Think of HUMBLE BULLS as a library with a notebook beside it. The Learn guides are the library: complete, ordered and updated only when they have been reviewed. The research desk shows how a disciplined workflow is built, and our tools comparison covers the software behind it.
The blog is the notebook. Notes are short, dated and practical. A note never repeats a guide; it points back to the guide that explains the idea in full, so you can go as deep as you need and no further.
Reading paths for every stage
Pick the path that matches where you are today. Each one is a sequence of pages written to be read in order.
Path 1: I am new to swing trading
Start with what swing trading is, learn the step-by-step method, then see how risk is capped before any entry.
Most days, sometimes several in a day. Each note shows the date it was published, and the newest always appear first.
Can I get the notes by email?
Yes. The weekly email collects every note from the week in one place, in date order, so nothing is missed.
Is a note a trade recommendation?
No. Everything on HUMBLE BULLS is education and research for general information. It is not personalised advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
