How To Swing Trade

This book made the whole Swing Trade approach, easy and accessible. My initial desire to read this book was to try to make sense of the gobbledygook I see when I open my trade account. Sure - I know how to execute a buy or sell order - but I wanted to learn some of the other stuff. However, what Pezim does in this book is walk you through the basics of a trade and help you understand the mechanics and what’s going on underneath. He makes it easy to understand and helps push you in the direction of becoming a successful trader. I particularly like the way he assesses risk and makes this about an informed decision as opposed to “just a bet that could go either way”.Finally - Pezim makes a case for “the small guy” and illustrates how we, as retail investors, can have an advantage in the game vs all the massive corporate traders. Although this edition doesn’t address the current rise of AI, and how it would affect trading - I think the strategies may stay very similar regardless.If you’re interested in trading, and understanding how it all works - check out this book.

I’ve had some experience trading, but this book does a great job at creating a vantage point for beginners. It has a great perspective and positive tone. The information is incredibly valuable and it’s easily one of the best books I’ve read written on the subject. The information is clear, succinct, and straight forward. If you’re even thinking about starting swing trading, I’d recommend you start here.

I actually enjoyed this book very much: even for those with previous knowledge of trading, the book offers a good review, concepts are explained clearly, and I personally thought that the section regarding technical analysis was better explained than other books just covering technical analysis. One thing I would have add in the section covering the routine of a swing trader would have been an actual “walk-through” example on searching and executing a trade the author might have done in the past, just to better help the reader in building a structure upon which build his/her trading style.

This book was informative and easy to read. It covers a number of concepts and provides resources for further study. Highly recommend.

A great resource for beginners exploring swing trading. Comprehensive and detailed but very readable. After my first read, I will need to go back and study sections in detail to develop a better understanding and basic proficiency. It's a very practical guide for starting your own swing trade business.

What I liked best was the clarity of writing and topics covered. Many strategies and techniques that are obscure to the beginner are clearly explained. I feel ready to at least paper trade.

I am new to Trading and made my entry into this field by learning Swing Trading from this book by Brian Pezim. It was recommended by my brother.The book covers all the concepts of Swing Trading starting from Tools and Platforms for Swing Trading, Financial Instruments, Risk Management, Fundamental Analysis, Technical Analysis, Trading Rules, Strategies, Entry and Exit. The chapters are divided into clear and concise sections along with visual representation of graphs and figures.The author has explained these concepts with such CLARITY and SIMPLICITY... it reflects his knowledge, experience and success in the field.The author emphasizes again and again how important it is to make a good entry on a stock as this would make a big difference in your risk to reward ratio, and put you on the winning side. In order to do so he describes (along with analogies) many classic indicators, patterns to recognise that reoccur time after time and help you identify a TREND for a profitable trade. I could very quickly grasp these trend indicators from the book and use them in my trading. Identifying a TREND is one of the very important aspects...that's what I think...and the author also mentions many times in the book that 'In market Trend is your only friend'. I totally agree with it. He also goes into describing Market Psychology involved with many of these patterns. This was very helpful in understanding the sentiment of the buyers and the sellers.The book was a great foundation for me. Author's method of writing is outstanding and a pleasure to read.Definitely recommend it!

I’ve been trading for years without really any insight. This is a great book for beginners even if you’re not beginner. This book has brought to Light so much for me and it’s definitely a good read for anybody who wants to take this on even it’s just a hobby.
