Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

In today’s fast–moving, nerve–wracking market how can investors find and execute profitable trades without establishing an around–the–clock vigil on their positions? The answer is swing trading a proven strategy that fits between day–trading and buy–and–hold, guiding traders to stocks and indices that can be held profitably for weeks or months rather than days or years.

In Swing Trading: Power Strategies to Cut Risk and Boost Profits, bestselling author and fund manager Jon Markman zeroes in on intermediate–term swing trading methods, and details the tools that will help you play and win at a game once dominated by professionals.

There are many ways to find success as a swing trader and this book explains some of the best through interviews with successful veterans of the craft. In each chapter you’ll meet the traders, learn their favorite swing set–ups, and discover their approaches to position management. You’ll be introduced to a variety of wily, thoughtful pros and their techniques, including:

• Hedge fund manager and research publisher Terry Bedford, and the numerous chart patterns he uses to find entries and exits for swing trades as well as an explanation of the fundamentals of swing trading
• Private trader and research publisher Bert Dohmen, and how he keeps cool when the technical indicators on his charts are flying low and fast
• Options trader George Fontanills, and his unique approach to finding multi–month short sales of crashing companies

But that’s not all. You’ll also receive an up–close look at author Jon Markman’s own successful swing trading techniques and strategies. He’ll show you how to find stocks to hold for a month or more by leveraging online tools, including the StockScouter rating system at MSN Money, as well as his own HiMARQ stock seasonality metrics.

Filled with practical advice from seasoned veterans, real–world examples, and historical perspectives, Swing Trading provides a very comprehensive look at intermediate–term swing trading. This valuable book offers clear, step–by–step guidance that will allow you to apply the swing trading methodology to any portfolio without making it a full–time job.
