Effective Techniques for Swing Trading Stocks and ETFs.
Successful traders: know how to adapt their trading techniques to varying market conditions, and reduce risks by varying position sizing and exit strategies based on the current conditions. This site shares swing trading tips and Techniques for stocks and ETFs based on a a full time traders 20 years of active trading experience .
I am a full time trader who invests his own money in the market every day. I have shared trading techniques and systems at seminars across the country; presented at the Traders Expo, and published articles in Stocks & Commodities, Traders-Journal, The Opening Bell, and Working Money.
I have found through 20 years of market experience that making money in the market involves knowing what to trade, when to trade, and an ability to vary your trading style to match the current market conditions. I have developed a Market Adaptive Trading Technique that matches well tested systems, exit strategies, and position sizing to the current market conditions. The trading plan I use every day is based on this approach and outlined in every issue of the Timely Trades Letter.
My Market Adaptive Trading Techniques starts by analyzing the current market conditions to determine where key support and resistance levels are and what that implies for trading style, entries, and exits. I write down this information and use it to develop a trading plan for the next day. My friends and seminar attendees began asking for this data which led to the development of the Timely Trades Letter, where I share my market outlook and trading setup's twice a week. Email me if you'd like a free sample or click for more information.
After analyzing the market I run a dozen different scans that have been tested in different market conditions and pick the setup's most appropriate to the current market. A brief summary of some of the testing I do for each scan is outlined in my article on Analyzing Pullback Setup's.
My market analysis also tells me whether I should be focused on short term trades, swing trades, or intermediate term trades. In general I focus on short term trades or stand aside when the market is in a narrow range, I focus on swing trades when the market is trading in a wide range, and intermediate term trades when the market is clearly trending. I share my thoughts on appropriate trading style with the readers of the Timely Trades Letter twice a week.
My scans look for trades in both stocks and ETF's. Sometimes the market is going nowhere and it is better to trade ETF's that are uncorrelated with the market and happen to be trending. After 20 years of market experience, and countless hours testing and refining a number of scans, I've yet to see a week there there wasn't an interesting setup. Email me if you would like a sample copy of the Timely Trades Letter to see what I'm doing in the current market.

The market will not adapt to us, so we must adapt trading styles and exit strategies to current market conditions. Successful traders know how to adjust their trading style to the rhythm of the market and keep more profits. I analyze the market to determine which of my extensively tested trading tools or scans is best suited for the current conditions. I don't use the same tool all the time, I adapt to the market and select tools appropriate for the current conditions. I write down my market analysis, the best long setups, the best short setups, powerful ETF patterns, and use this as my trading plan. My trading friends and seminar attendees asked me to share this information so I began to publish it as the Timely Trades Letter. If you would like to see my current market analysis, trading setups, and several trading tips then email me to request a free copy the Timely Trades Letter.
