What is Swing Trading?

Swing trading is a style of trading stocks that attempts to capture short term moves in the stock market. A swing trader typically holds a stock for 2 to 5 days. This is a perfect time frame for those that have a job and cannot "day trade". This time frame is also unique in that you can potentially capture explosive moves in a stock in a very short period of time.
As a swing trader...
You do not care about the fundamentals of a company.
You do not care what kind of products they sell.
You do not even care what the name of the company is.
You make trading decisions based on the laws of supply and demand - nothing else.

2. How can I get into this stock with the least possible risk to my trading capital?

That’s it! You have be able to answer those two questions in order to be a profitable swing trader. Ok, let's get started:
