2. Risk in Swing Trading and Stock Picking
Swing trading of both stocks and futures trading carry risk. Understanding market analysis during futures and stock picking can mitigate risk and enhance profits. The risk during stock market swing trading is calculated by taking the difference between the entry point and the protective stop and then multiplying this figure by the amount of shares. It is similar for futures swing trading. But in futures trading first multiply the space between the open and protective stop by the value of each point (e.g., for the 30-year bond each 1/32 of a point is worth $31.50 per contract).
Stock Swing Trading versus Futures Swing Trading : Advantages of trading stocks include the many different stocks that are available that can be selected through good stock picking and market analysis. Stock market swing trading is also helped by comparing a particular stock to the stock trading indexes. Futures swing trading provides leverage so that much more money can be earned in a shorter period of time. Futures swing trading has the same calculation of risk as in stock trading because the risk is calculated based on the difference between the open of the stock trading or futures trading and the protective stop.
