I have been planning on getting into swing trading starting this fall. I have read several books on this area and find Oliver Velez "Tools and Tactic of the Master Day Trader" an excellent read. It deals a lot with the mind set and different mistakes trader do. I have been in the stock market for 10 years and do not believe in the buy and hold routine. I would like to have short term trades for income and invest long in companies that do stay on an uptrend.
I have been thinking of going to a mentorship with Pristine.com this fall...it is a lot but I hope it will show me how to run it like a business,a way to find stocks and a routine to follow. A log is a great way to find your mistakes and learn from them.
I do believe a lot in TA and that you should have predetermined entry and exit points.
Thanks for starting this forum and hope that you and others can keep it going with regular posts...I will also throw some questions and comments in myself on occasion...
