For me this has been a very difficult time for swing
trading. Example, I have tried trading some of the watch
list, but cannot response fast enough to exit or change
stops. Trailing stops don't seem to work either. All my
setups are done at night.
Given
my
contraints, I just have no time for finding
stocks and day trading - you guys are sucessful and have the
time to respond during the day. So the only option I
have is to swing trade with only making order setups at
night. So it would be nice to have an expanded
watchlist sectionwith inputs and parmeters. Some
other considerations that would help include:
1) Define swing trading - time period (3 days, 1 wk, 1 mo, 3 mo,
etc), trends, rules, etc.
2) Specify a watch list swing trades setups
3) Id swing trade stock entries, stops, targets, chart
crossovers and triggers
4) Mechanical Systems: I have no access to a home
computer during the day so systems would have to be
setup manually only at night (could use buy
stops).
I'm sure there are others working in the same boat and I
see this as an build on what you have (which is great from
what I can tell). So I would appreciate your thoughts on
this matter.
