Swing Trading Help/Resources

A few questions about the links.

Bullmarket, have you used the twaves service?

DK, have you used (or are using) the stockstalker service? It looks powerful. I'm definitely going to sign up for the free 30 day trial.

Stocktrader. Thanks. I saw realitytrader via some of the posts on ET. I checked it out and they have an educational offer for $99/6 months of access to their online resources. Just wondering if anyone else has ever used that?

Oddtrader. I will head there also. Thanks.

Thanks for those additional links and suggestions. I'm looking into everything I receive.

And, if anyone else has had some experience using these services, please share that. Much appreciated.

:)

Are there any swingtraders (any time frame) on ET, that can recommend some services, whether software, data, or whatever, that is worth having? And, could you point me to some threads on ET for swingtrading that are worth reading.

Thanks.

The more you look at commercial advisory services more you will get confused. Real traders trade and make money from trading advisory services make money from selling service.
If you are serious about swing trading you need to first decide how much trading capital you are putting in, so what is the right instrument to trade, what kind of time frame, and then answer each question.
Look at some of the concepts and understand them . You just need two or three set ups to find stocks to trade on daily basis.
Some of the concepts you might want to consider are:
1 Sector based swing strategies
2 flat base breakouts
3 cup and handle breakouts
4 High relative strength plays.
5 High volume events
 
I don't meet the requirements to be an active daytrader. I will have around $10000 to trade for myself. Do you recommend anything? Because of that I need a little longer time frame, 2 - 3 days or more.

I don't know if any particular setup is a higher percentage call than any other? Appears more often, easier to identify, etc

Could you recommend a source, maybe a book or two, which would explain the swing trading setups you mention?

Thanks.

Just some advice - NEVER use an advisory service that does not publish a COMPLETE track record of ALL trades - winners and losers. If you look for just this one criteria, you will be amazed at how many services you eliminate.

And, you will be amazed at the excuses you hear for why they do not publish a complete track record of ALL winners and losers!!!

Actual examples might help. A tradable setup is different for each trader. I prefer a breakout through resistance and then a successful test of the new support level. That is just my personal preference. Other traders enter on the breakout.

Amen. Here is thread I had from last year that talks about this.

Thanks for taking the time to post the charts and setup examples. It really helps to see what is being discussed.

I think it would make for an excellent forum or journal of some kind to see the charts posted for these kinds of setups, but all in one place. It seems the charts are all spread out throughout the threads and every now and then you can stumble on a chart that really shows something.

Maybe a more experienced trader, like yourself Charles, could get that started.:D
