Swing and Day Trading: Evolution of a Trader covers swing and day trading. The first portion of the book highlights swing trading techniques, explains how to use chart patterns to swing trade, and explores swing selling, event patterns (common stock offerings, trading Dutch auction tender offers, earnings releases, rating changes, and so on), and other trading setups.
It tears apart a new tool called the chart pattern indicator. The indicator is not a timing tool, but a sentiment indicator that is great at calling major market turns. Swing and Day Trading reveals methods to time the market swings, including specific trading setups, but it covers the basics as well, such as setting up a home trading office and how much money you can make day trading.
Day trading reviews the basics including home office setup, cost of day trading, day trading chart patterns, and the opening range breakout. It discusses research into the major reversal times each day and what time of the day is most likely to set the day’s high and low—valuable information to a day trader. An entire chapter discusses the opening gap setup and why fading the gap is the best way to trade it. Another chapter discusses the opening range breakout setup and questions whether it works.
