Our Special Sauce: Backtest Results for Each Trade Setup

Here is a more detailed breakdown of what included with our Swing Trading Service:

DIY Swing Trading Scanner

Based on Technical Analysis

Our swing trading scanner finds stocks with popular trade setups based on chart patterns, stock indicators, and candlestick patterns.

Shows Historical Performance of Each Trade Setup

What makes our swing trading scanner one-of-a-kind is that each scan result shows how that stock may have performed historically when the same trade setup occurred in the past. Use filters to find the swing trade setups that have the best track record of success.

Get Alerts for New Scan Results

If you pay for our service, then you can enable alerts for any swing trade scans you want. This means you will get alerted each time our screener picks up new scan results. Alerts can be sent by email or text. You can set your preference after you sign up for the service.

Gives Complete Trade Setups

Each scan result offers a full swing trade setup. It gives you a specific amount of time to hold the position. This takes the guesswork out of your trading decisions. You know exactly how long to hold the position.

Lots of Ways to Filter Stocks

Subscribers can see all swing trade scan results at once and sort by the ones that have the best backtested performance. But we also cater to a variety of different ways to search and filter scan results:

Historical Performance

Filter swing trade setups by backtested performance, such as a minimum win percentage or annualized return.

Swing Trading Strategy

Search for stocks that meet the criteria for particular chart patterns, candlestick patterns, or stock indicators. You can also filter stocks for our proprietary trading strategies. These are swing trading strategies that we know have a strong backtested edge.

Stock Share Price, Market Cap, or Industry

You can limit your scan results to stocks that have a particular share price, company size, or sector.

Swing Trading Picks

Let Our Scanner Pick Trades for You

Let our scanner picks trades for you. You can sit back and let us do all the work to determine which trade setups are worth your attention. Get trade alerts each time our scanner makes a new swing trade pick. Each swing trade alert indicates the full scope of the trade idea: the ticker symbol, when to buy it, and when to sell it.

Performance of Swing Trade Alerts

We’re well qualified to do statistical research on historical stock performance. We have years of experience doing stock market research and use a rigorous statistical process for testing each swing trading strategy we feature. Here is the performance of our swing trading picks in backtests:

Please note that this performance information is not based on live trades, but on backtests, which have important limitations. Swing trading in the stock market involves risk, even when trade setups have a strong history of profitability. You can dial your risk down or up by adjusting your position sizing or the number of trades you take. The more risk that’s taken, the higher the potential for drawdowns. You can also start out by paper trading stocks to get a feel for the trades before putting real money at risk.

Up to:

Swing Trade Alerts per Week

For Active Stock Traders

Our swing trade picking service is designed for people who are looking to hold positions for 1 week to 1 month. These picks are for active stock traders. We send out up to ten stock picks per week with our swing trading service. Some weeks there might be less. It depends on market conditions, and our scanner will never send stock picks unless it sees an opportunity with a strong backtested edge. If you're looking for less active stock trading than that, you can consider our buy-and-hold stock investing service, where trades often last three months to a year. Or if you're interested in options, you could check out our option trading service.

Support from Swing Trading Experts

We have swing trading experts who offer commentary on a regular basis regarding both our trade alerts and the general state of the market. Their commentary gets sent out to the group in an email newsletter. These experts are readily available for any questions you might have along the way.

Swing trading is where you make trades that last more than one day but are not long term holds. It’s in between day trading and long-term investing. If you are swing trading, you might own a given stock or option for a matter of days or weeks, not years.

If you don’t know exactly how to buy and sell in the stock market, you can use our free stock guides or options guides to learn the basics. Once you sign up for the service, you’ll also find tutorials that teach our swing trading strategies in detail so that you can learn to trade them on your own if you want. Our goal is to make sure you will have the tools to be able to successfully follow our swing trade alerts no matter what your trading expertise level is. And if questions come up along the way, you can contact us any time and we’ll be ready to help.
