THE BEST SWING TRADING INDICATORS

httpswingtradingbootcampcom

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
