Synopsis

This essential guide to a trading strategy offers a viable (and profitable) alternative to both day-trading and the buy-and-hold mentality.

Swing Trading presents the methods that allow busy people to hold positions for as long as a week to a month and then exit with a handsome profit.

This resource focuses on how you can achieve success and reap the rewards of this unique and profitable trading method. You'll find step-by-step guidance and valuable tips on free online tools you can use to apply the swing trading method and substantially grow your portfolio. Order your copy today.
