"When looking at a chart's support and resistance levels, a swing trader's goal is to buy from the fearful and sell to the greedy."

One of the most important questions to answer is what kind of trader you want to become. Swing trading is a profitable method used inside an overall trading approach, or a trader can create a swing trading system as their only method. Swing traders use daily charts for most of their signals. A swing trader may sometimes drop down to the intraday chart or go up to the weekly chart to look at a confluence of signals on multiple time frames.

Most swing traders only require screen time for trading the open and the close each day. This aspect of swing trading attracts beginners and those who don't want to sit in front of a screen and trade all day. Swing trading is one of the best methods for life balance because it requires less time commitment and is usually less stressful to execute and manage than other trading methods. In this book, I will show you how to become a swing trader.
