Learning how to swing trade stocks can be challenging without the knowledge necessary to succeed!
They fail for these reasons:
- They do not have the knowledge
- They do not have a plan.
- They do not have discipline.
That’s why you will win where others have failed.
How to use this site:
The Basics
In the first section, you will learn swing trading basics. These topics cover trends, price, volume, and strength. Without a solid understanding of how and why stocks move you really do not even have a chance. Sadly, I think many traders fall into this category.
Do not skip over this section! There are many little "nuggets" of information contained in these pages that a lot of traders are unaware of. These basic swing trading tactics create the foundation for what is to follow.
The Strategy
In the second section, you will learn swing trading strategies using charts and technical analysis. As a swing trader, you are mainly interested in short term moves lasting between two and five days.
You do not care about the fundamentals of a company. You do not care what kind of products they sell. You do not even care what the name of the company is. You only care about TWO THINGS:
Question One: Is there money flowing into this stock or is there money flowing out of this stock?
and…
Question Two: How can I get into this stock with the least possible risk to my trading capital?
That’s it! You have be able to answer those two questions in order to be a profitable swing trader.
In section one, you will learn swing trading concepts to answer the first question. In section two, you will learn swing trading techniques to answer the second question.
Top Articles
In the third section, you will learn swing trading tips and tricks to put the icing on the cake. Read about Fibonacci retracements, how to trade gaps, and learn the tips and tricks for reading stock charts. You can find more stock trading articles on this page.

Finally, in the last section, you can read about some of the trading products and services that I like, join the forum, or read some of my book reviews.
