Swing Trading For Dummies (eBook)

Learn how to maximize profits and minimize risks trading over the short term

Swing Trading For Dummies introduces you to a trading methodology designed to generate big profits in the short term.

New in this update to Swing Trading for Dummies is material on the types of positive catalysts a trader should look for to enter a trade, the best way to trade earnings reports, swing trading cryptocurrencies and why you should avoid investing in banking stocks.
