"Swing Trading" is a style of trading that is very short term in duration and
captures the "explosive" move by a stock. This type of trading is the best suited
for the individual investor who wishes to either day trade or trade within a very
short time frame of one to five days, (or whenever the trend ends and/or the trade
gets stopped out), and uses
technical analysis
to predict the movements of large institutional and fund activities before
they act to push a stock to another level.

We have to use actual market quotations to illustrate exactly what we are doing and why we are doing it. Otherwise, the diaries and its entries of daytrader1.com will be misleading and not educational. The spirit of this website is to teach the market daytrader how to trade successfully by using real-time quotes and any attempt to duplicate these trades is not a guarantee to make money.

So how do we pick these explosive stock selections? Here at daytrader1.com, these
are the kinds of trade setups we present and teach to our daily subscribers. And

buy price with exact precision for a confident entry and lets the trader "ride"
out the trend by having a pre-established stop point as seen with its red line
or "midpoints" that are supporting the prices.
Our particular way of marrying technical analysis with swing trading keeps trading
simple but effective with optimal risk and reward results. This type of
