Have You Seen This Swing Trading Strategy?

–          SWING TRADES
o    The key is to keep it simple
o    Simple price patterns, simple trade management, simple entry trigger
o    Don’t try to dig into the charts too much, the chart should be SCREAMING AT YOU!
§  Looking for a established trend is the best way to start
§  Then look for a pullback/retracement to trade with the trend
§  And also look for a price reversal pattern to trade against the trend.
o    The hardest part of swing trading is committing to your trade and letting it play out
o    Another challenge is that swing traders use overnight margin, which is a lot higher than intra-day margin.
o    $20,000 account would be your minimum to be an effective swing trader.
o    You can easily qualify as a member to manage a large account for swing trades.
o    More info on how to manage accounts can be found in the advanced course download section.
o    You will want to have 2 accounts if you trade both day trades and swing trades
o    Practice on a demo, and if you show me 30 days of consistency on the demo, I have a swing trade for you.
o    You can use more than 3 targets.
–          Big Round Number
–          100.00, 1400.00, 800.0, 1.3500
–          These are price levels that large traders easily remember
–          The larger sized orders that come in around these levels make for sloppy and ‘sticky’ price areas.
–          What does the volume look like throughout the year:
o    End of the first quarter
o    Last 2 weeks of August, first week of September
Last 2 weeks of the year, and the first week of the new year
