    OK, I could write pages on this, but in a nutshell......

    There are a multitude of different ways to trade this, but initially they will all start by seeing some sort of potential strength come into the market (on whatever time frame you intend to trade over). After that, look for price to accelerate away, or go through a period of testing. Your entry can come from many different methods like..... "accumulation along with the accumulators", or "on a breakout of a trading range", or "on the successful test of a breakout" (in whatever timeframe you are trading in). All of those entries carry different risk profiles, with the accumulation entry generally carrying the least actual monetary risk, but the time risk is greater, whereas each of the breakout entries may carry larger cash risk, but a lower time risk.
    Then you have to manage the trade, to suit your style.
    Personally I like to do my own variation of a swing trade, where I generally buy a position, and if it goes my way I sell a proportion, then I crawl the remainder until I am stopped out. But that is what suits me and my trading personality, and my overall plan (where I only trade a smallish percentage of my accounts, the majority is in longer term holdings collecting dividends. And when I make decent trading profits, those profits are put back into more longer term holdings). My style is unlikely to be favourable to many other traders, but it is what I am most comfortable with, and suits me.

    I reckon all traders develop their own style and rules for trading as they spend more time in the markets.
    Some traders like to have very rigid and firm trading rules, which should not ever be broken, and others have more general & flexible rules, which allow for changes to occur as the markets change (and all trading rules should be reviewed and reconsidered from time to time, to allow for potential improvements).
    Once you find your own style, which suits your own personality, you will know you are really on your way.

    cheers
