The hundred year old art of swing trading

Swing trading is a very old trading technique. It has been around for 100 year or more. Most active traders trade some variation of a swing trading technique. The basic strategy in swing trading is to find a stock or instrument like ETF or Index or future which is having a strong trend and then enter in the direction of the trend on pullback or retracement.

This is a workhorse method and once you perfect it, it gives you steady stream of trades. The trick in swing trading is good risk management.

The basic principle of swing trading

• Find a stock in a up trend
• Find a area of consolidation or pullback
• Enter when the stock starts breaking out of such consolidation
• Use tight stops
• Exit near swing high or when stock stops making new high
• Do this over and over and over and your money compounds fast

This is the bread and butter strategy for those who want to make living trading.
