The TRUTH about Trading for a Living

If you were to consider day trading as one extreme of trading behaviour and trend following as the other extreme, swing trading might easily be considered to represent the golden mean. And … there may be more gold in it for you than you realise.

The day trader buys and sells stocks within a few seconds up to perhaps within a few hours: buy today, sell today. Nimble as a mountain goat, he is. The trend trader looks long and hard at long-term trends of a stock or an index, and generally holds the stock for a few weeks to a few months.

The swing trader holds the stock from a few days to just a few weeks, no more no less, just riding the oscillations of the market between this side of pessimism to that side of optimism. And, says the shortswingtrading.com website, the swing trader may have greater chances of making more money on the average, than the other two.

Successful swing trading requires the ability to pick the right shares to trade. This is one of the things that this website proposes to share with you. It has over 60 US stocks listed in its watch list and watch lists for exchanges in the UK, Canada and Australia. Shortswingtrading.com says it can even help you compile your own watch list for any other market using the information provided in a short swing trading book that is available exclusively from their web site.

Perhaps just as exciting for you, is that you may add new shares to ones already listed on the website. Like any good trader, you would probably like to let others learn about your discovery. We are always looking for a good “find” and when we do, we want people to know about it. Share the bounty, so to speak. Shortswingtrading.com lets you tell more people about it when you add your discovery to the watch list.

Two other things that the web site does (to complement the book) is help you determine what to trade and how to trade it, and helps you define your entry and exit points. Knowing (more or less) when to buy a share and when to dispose of it are important skills for the swing trader.

The swing trading strategy has also been described as “buying normalcy and selling mania” or “shorting normalcy and covering depression.” You cannot expect to hit paydirt with a single trade. Although the website offers tips about when to enter and when to exit, it also tells the swing trader not to be too concerned about perfect timing, meaning buying exactly at the bottom or selling exactly at the top. That is why the top page of the website will say success with this stock – 60% winning trades, average win was 3 times the average loss, for example. Swing trading is all about playing with the averages and coming out ahead, on the average.

With the information from the book and the support from the shortswingtrading.com website, you may just turn in a healthy profit from your trading online.
