Books

As part of our ongoing educational series we would like to recommend a number of books we have found unbelievably helpful. The first five were written by me as part of our Trade4Profits series.

As a personal preference I would recommend the hard or paper back copies of all the books we recommend. Makes it A LOT easier to study and quickly look up information when you need it. Except, Covered Calls – You are Doing it WRONG!, it is just sold as an ebook, sorry.

Simple Swing Trading – The KISS System

Click Here for More Information

Trading should not be hard. Trading should not be overly complicated. With hundreds of indicators out there with thousands of combinations I wanted to give you a simple yet effective swing trading system that is easy to understand and can be easily scanned for.

I have developed a three chart system using just three primary indicators. These charts along with some secondary indicators I use for confirmation will give you everything you need to become a successful swing trader with a little bit of practice and a small time commitment either daily or weekly depending on how often you trade.

Yes, you can even trade using just one of the chart set ups, but I highly recommend using all three. Successful swing trading is about confirmation and understanding the most probable set ups for making money.

You can use my KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) swing trading system with either shares of the stock or options. The KISS system is a 100% technical based analysis for ease of use and is fully scalable with proper portfolio and risk management.

The KISS system will give you everything you need to understand price action, find long/short areas, set targets and most importantly you will learn where NOT to enter a trade.
