I'm looking to discuss swing trading stocks with any like minded trader. Paid my registration fee but don't see any stock traders. Please don't tell me I'm the only stock trader on the forum.

The site is mostly futures. But I swing trade a lot personally and in fact am doing it more and more vs day trading futures (because of time constraints, and because it is so much easier).

Generally there is a individual thread for each instrument being discussed.

I swing blue chip stocks too off the weekly chart most of the time so count me in!
I also find swinging much easier, and more reliable, plus higher rik:reward ratios.

Successful people will do what unsuccessful people won't or can't do!

Swing trading ASX and US is my bread and butter work and has served me well before I went full time. I scan for some setups and in the past I subscribed to a couple of pretty good sites too when I got started. I would be happy to share my picks here as we as the method I use to scan.

Buying the blood here with a couple of stocks. If it's indeed a change in the long term trend we will know soon enough. For now, buying a couple of the highest flying growth stocks. TSLA & IRBT. I like the names that seem too high to buy. I also like both fundamental stories. As for technicals, I like the huge volume gap ups which tell me that the market is unsure about the value of the stock. I also use the williams %r to manage entries and exits. If a stock is in a strong trend, I buy dips below the -20 level on the indicator. My stop is a close below the low of the dip day, as the case now, I also have a 20 or 10 period moving average to lean on. Also have CREE, NFLX, SPWR, and V on my watch list.

Same principle for shorts al la RAX, & patiently waiting on Mrs LULU to fall out of bed.

Thanks for the charts.

Been long BAC since Sept. 2012, one of my better trades.

I see you are from Shreveport, did you go to La Tech?

Shouldn't require that much crying

Most everything to do with psychology, risk, and methodology applies universally.
