How to Trade
The Dow Swing Trader

 

 

When a trading signal is given out, members will receive our trade signals directly by E-mail to the E-mail address you joined with.

After the market closes at 4:00 P.M. New York time, we review the charts and if a signal is to be given it will be sent out between 4:00 P.M and 7:00 P.M. New York time (EST). 

When there is a trading signal giving out (and we average about 5 or 6 a month) you will be told if The Dow Swing Trader is going long or short.

You can use this information on your own to trade the options on the Dow Jones called the Diamonds (DIA) or the Dow Jones futures market such as the popular E-Mini Dow or any other means that you prefer to trade the Dow.

We will record all our past trade signals given out on our Past Performance page.

The Dow Swing Trader is a combination day and swing trading system that often lets you take profits by trading our signals for just part of the first day, one full day or even multiple days after a trade signal is given out.

For example, after the Dow closes on a Monday, we may give out a "Long" signal for the next trading day. If on Tuesday the Dow goes up 180 points in the morning, you may want to lock in that 180 points gain there. And if the Dow then comes back down to close for the day up 120 points, we will list that as a maximum gain of +180 points for Tuesday.  

Don't hesitate to lock in profits, even during the first morning after a trade signal is given out. Better to lock in a small gain than give it back.

We do not give exit signals, that's why it is important for you to lock in your gains.  

We do not make recommendations on placement of stop losses because individual traders will be using different means (options, futures, etc.) to trade the Dow and have different risk tolerance levels. You must decide where to place your own stop losses.

We are not always in a trade every trading day. We look to get in a trade after a signal is given and get out in 1 or 2 days to lock in our gains.
