Swing Trading: Power Strategies to Cut Risk and Boost Profits

by Jon D. Markman

Overview

This essential guide to a trading strategy offers a viable (and profitable) alternative to both day-trading and the buy-and-hold mentality.

Swing Trading presents the methods that allow busy people to hold positions for as long as a week to a month and then exit with a handsome profit. Where day traders execute many trades for nickels and dimes, swing traders take larger positions and make few moves for more substantial returns. This resource focuses on how you can achieve success and reap the rewards of this unique and profitable trading method. You'll find step-by-step guidance and valuable tips on free online tools you can use to apply the swing trading method and substantially grow your portfolio. Order your copy today.
