Quick Tip: Best Swing Trades
If you’re a swing trader of stocks or options you probably have some technical analysis rules for entry and exit. There are countless indicators and methods that work just fine.
One “edge” you might not have optimized yet is your stock/option selection method. Many traders will simply look for the high-volume candidates with appropriate volatility. That’s not enough.
Why not? Because they’re depending on the lagging technical indicators for timing, which is critical to success.
There’s a quote, author unknown, that applies: “If time is money, then timing is wealth.”
