I'm not trying to talk you out of swing trading because I don't feel like I actually know you. But, if I did, if you were my friend, I would try as hard as I could to try to convince you there were better ways to spend your time and deploy your capital.
One short note on your comment about holding "core" shares and only trading a portion of your TSLA shares: That's how swing trading is justified by most who do it, that it's only a portion of their holdings. But let me be clear, my position that swing trading is most likely not productive to your returns in the end doesn't care whether it's 1% or 100% of your account that is being traded. The idea is that there are better ways in the long term to deploy that capital. If swing trading a portion of your primary holding reduced risk and portfolio volatility, then perhaps it would have some utility. And some people will claim it does exactly that. But, IMO, they are wrong about that, on average.
The top 10% will do a little better than the holders (assuming a tax deferred account) in which case they probably should swing trade their entire portfolio (if they believe their top performance will continue and they have the time to invest in that activity). But, on average, it is a losing strategy and a colossal waste of time and energy.
Carry on.
