Learn how to maximize profits and minimize risks trading over the short term
Swing Trading For Dummies introduces you to a trading methodology designed to generate big profits in the short term. Unlike buy and hold investing, Swing Traders endeavor to enter a stock at the precise moment a major uptrend begins and exit for a large profit a few weeks or months later. In order to achieve this result, Swing Trading For Dummies covers the tools you need to get up and running as a trader before moving on to the two main analysis techniques swing traders rely upon: technical analysis and fundamental analysis. These two analysis techniques can be combined to maximize the chances of a successful trade.

New in this update to Swing Trading for Dummies is material on the types of positive catalysts a trader should look for to enter a trade, the best way to trade earnings reports, swing trading cryptocurrencies and why you should avoid investing in banking stocks.
