swing trading indicators

[joeflyer]

Hi this is Joe.

Just want to ask what people like for indicators to swing trade with. Let me know and I can read about them and maybe ask some questions. I am retired and have quite a bit of free time so I can help. I think I can help so anyone new please make a message here so I can chat and we can talk about swing trading indicators. I want to paper trade first until I understand what to do.

I have most of my investments into dividends but have some spare to play with.

Thanks

Joe

Hi Joe,

Here are some of our newsletters that may help you out.

This newsletter introduces several complementary indicators on the DJIA. This should give you a general introduction towards some potential indicators.

Technical indicators and the DJIA & Showing the end of the DJIA uptrend

The following newsletter introduces a basic swing trading system used for index's and giant caps.

A look back on the DJIA followed by Adding a complementary indicator (MACD) to a Stochastics system

Finally including this final article which includes different parameters to help ensure the short and medium term trends are in your favor. Changing your parameters to fit the trend you are trading

As always you should paper trade your system before you commit. You should also build a checklist of buy and sell conditions in conjunction with your trading system. Part of building a system like this is to ensure confidence and reason to your decisions and remove emotions. For example if you are trading a fertilizer company you may look at grain futures as part of your technical analysis checklist.

These newsletters will help you define a technical analysis checklist, Developing a Systematic Approach & How does technical analysis fit in your trading system

I hope this helps.

Hi Alex, thanks for your post. This is quite a bit to read. I will get back to you.

What are everyone thoughts on moving averages like a 5 and 20 day moving average?

Try looking at Bollinger Bands with the 20 day avg being the center line.

Hello Joe,
there is not a good or bad indicator for swing trade. You have to know how the indicators work and how to use them. What is the meaning of each of them.
