  THE BEST SWING
TRADING INDICATORS
     http://swingtradingbootcamp.com
So, what are the best swing
     trading indicators?
Well it really depends...
It depends on your beliefs
about the market you trade
and the system you have
designed to trade those beliefs
You see...
The best indicators for ME
May not be the best indicators
         for YOU...
So instead of giving you the
      best indicators...
I will give you some of the
   most popular instead
That way (based on your
   beliefs) YOU can
  decide for yourself!
First though you should
    understand that
Traders can use indicators and
oscillators in a few different ways
They can use them as a FILTER
to identify potential trade setups
For example...
The trader only considers stocks
 trading above a certain moving
   average for potential trades
In this case the moving average
  acts as a FILTER to generate
           trade ideas
OR...
Traders may use them to
 generate trading signals
For example...
When one moving average
crosses another moving average
  an entry signal in generated
In this case the indicator (moving
 average) actually generated the
     signal to enter the trade
Either way...
Indicators and Oscillators play a
vital role in how the swing trader
    designs his trading strategy
Trading the Trend
One of the most common
    ways traders use
indicators and oscillators
Is to identify trending
securities in the market
        they trade
Swing Traders look to profit by
   capturing these trends
Which can lead to large profits
Trend traders operate on the
belief that it is better to trade
with the crowd than against it
