Description of Advanced Swing Trading

Advanced Swing Trading reveals the strategies used by George Soros, Warren Buffett and other high-profile traders to reap whirlwind profits in today's volatile markets. With the demise of day trading, traders are searching for new methods of exploiting the unprecedented volatility of post-9/11 securities markets.

The most successful of these methods so far has been swing trading, a powerful technical approach that allows traders to profit from shorter-term price moves, ranging from several days to a couple of months. In Advanced Swing Trading, veteran trader and leading trading coach, John Crane clearly describes his original Action/Reaction swing trading system. With the help of numerous real-world examples, Crane clearly delineates his system and shows readers how to use it to consistently to gain big returns in even the shakiest of markets.

Synopsis
With the death of day trading, swing trading has become an increasingly popular and successful trading strategy. Author John Crane has developed a method of trading futures and stocks by combining price levels, timing methods, and confirmation patterns into his proprietary Action/Reaction predictive theory. In "Advanced Swing Trading", Crane combines time and price projections with price patterns to confirm specific entry and exit signals - a strategy that should help any trader come out on top.
