IMO, David Smith's "Short Swing Trading" is so-so.  No magic and no big secrets.  Just standard indicators (e.g., MA) with a requirement that price confirm signals, that the stock is a "smooth trender" and that trailing stops are used.  Experienced traders will probably not benefit from the book.  Nothing exceptional in my view in terms of approach or results.  On balance, I still suggest Farley's book at 1/3 the cost for both experienced and new traders - much more "meat" - and it compliments Farley's website "Hard Right Edge."  Although I'm a discretionary trader, I incorporate (internalized) a number of Farley's tidbits.  But Smith is easy to understand and as good as other books/services for those getting started.

I have seen several reactions on the 'Short Swing Trading' service. Of course 2,5% a day on a consistent basis only exists in my dreams. I am more than happy with 2,5% per month. Since the 'Short Swing Trading' service seems to be the 'Holy Grail' -) -) -), I assume that they have a registration with Hulbert in the States. Do they ? If so what is Hulbert telling us about performance and quality of the 'Swing Trading' service ? Or is 'Short Swing Trading' just a quick and d...  USD 96 course to make people rich ? If so why is not every financial institution in the world using this application ?

I know of more than one 1% per day method, but of course it will not work to compound.  That is not the way a true trader does it.  I know a trader who averages 2.5% per day on about 5 trades per day on one ETF, and holds no position overnight.  He pulls his profits out and lives on them or puts them to work in longer term investments.    High rates of return only work for small investments and usually require a lot of personal attention and pattern recognition during the day.  If it worked for large sums, or easy computer algorithms, the big boys (or hoards) would work that angle to death and the edge would get neutralized.  Once you try to increase position sizes above a certain amount, you start to influence the market and you have no one to play against --it takes two to have a market.  That is why large mutual funds must look to a fundamental value model.  They can not trade the technicals quick enough without kill

One percent a day.  Yeah, right.

Compound one percent a day for five years and a $1,000 trading account becomes $278,000,000.  Start with real money and own Manhattan.

(1.01) ^ 1260 = 278,567

T-ohrt - the thing you are missing is not your technical ability, but
your BELIEF and your ATTITUDE to new things.

You seem to mistrust my recommendation when in fact you nothing of
me, my level of trading knowledge, this system or my involvement with
it (my involvement is none other than my affiliate link - just to
make that entirely clear).

If you believe that 1% a month is all that is possible, that will be
your reality, and you will discount ideas that make more as trickery.

If you want trade lists, further explanations on the system I
recommended - discuss it with David, the author. It is not my job to
divulge a system that someone else owns.

However, I will say that David's system is very credible and also
very simple. I have recieved a lot of support from David and his
system opened my eyes to swing trading.

I also know of an individual who makes 1% A DAY - and publishes all
his methods and indicators for free, online.

Look for The Rumpled One at:

www.kreslik.com.

I am currently porting his work over to Amibroker on that site.

And yes, once again - it is all FREE, and you definately won't find
it in your "Beyond Technical Analysis" book.
