    About this ebook

    Swing Trading using the 4-hour chart


    Part 1: Introduction to Swing Trading


    Swing trading is too fast for investors and too slow for day traders. It takes place on a timeframe in which you will find very few professionals traders.


    Swing traders usually use 4-hour charts. This period falls exactly between that of the investor and the day trader. As a swing trader, you are prone to sit on the fence, and that's good, because here you are almost alone.


    This eBook describes the swing trading method of the HeikinAshi Trader. It is ideal for individual investors who do not want to sit all day in front of the computer screen.


    Content:

      1. Why Swing Trading?

      Most newcomers to the stock market try their luck with day trading. By this, is not saying anything wrong. You can earn a lot of money indeed with day trading if you are good at it. IF! The problem is that many aspiring traders significantly underestimate the difficulties in day trading. I just list a few on:

      In this short timeframe you are competing with hundreds of thousands (mostly young) traders who are very well trained and equipped with the most advanced technology possible.

      A quite significant competition you can expect from the so-called algorithms. In other words, you fight expensive computer programs that were developed by the best minds.

      More competition you can expect from the lack of volatility in recent years. It happens more often that the typical trading markets, such as the E-mini, mini Dow future, EUR/USD and crude oil go sideways all day only to suddenly make a big jump without warning. Do you have the right position at this very moment?

      Your biggest competitor is not at least yourself. Do not underestimate the psychological pressure when day trading. Many traders have run aground using this method. Even if you have a moment of success, it does not mean that this must always be so.

      If in spite of these drawbacks you still want to day trade; then go for it!

      Unlike day trading, position trading with daily charts or even weekly charts is a much more comfortable way to make money in the stock market. And, frankly, I would recommend most people to use this method.

      But beware! Again, there is also a lot of competition, here! Here you have to compete with the major operators: investment funds, insurance companies and hedge funds that speculate in medium-term time frame with stocks, indices, commodities and currencies.

      Those highly capitalized pools could, for example, have the idea to sell in large numbers the stock you just bought. Not because the stock has suddenly become bad. It could be, for example, that they need money for another investment. Or, they need it in order to pay their disgruntled customers. You see, even investing is not that simple. You may as well call the stock market a snake pit and you would not even be in the least, exaggerating. Is there no alternative?

      I think
