Introduction:
Traders and investors study markets through price charts. These powerful visual tools offer a common language for all stocks, options and indices. The theory behind this is called “technical analysis.” Technical analysis begins with a simple observation that all market action is reflected in the activity of price and volume over time. This information creates a profound visual representation when properly presented in a chart. Prices rise and fall, with rising prices being stimulated by greed and falling prices by the awakening of fear.
This emotional tug of war between greed and fear generates a “swinging” price movement that provides the perfect opportunity for “Swing Trading.” Swing traders capitalize on the emotions of others while they carefully control their own emotions and systematically enter and exit trades. Swing traders recognize the levels of support and resistance. They understand the concepts of momentum and volatility, and can identify a trading range or channel.
Swing trading is very popular among short- and medium- term traders. It offers many virtues compared tothe hyperactivity of day trading. With recent changes in SEC regulations that affect the way brokerage firms administer margin requirements for day-trading accounts, many traders have moved away from day trading towards a swing-trading style.
