The 5 Secrets To Highly Profitable Swing Trading Paperback – September 12, 2014

So, I am NOT living the dream; but at least I can dream the dream. Unlike so many helpful reviewers before me, I'm not really playing the market. Therefore, I can't tell you just how this book adds or detracts from my nonexistent stock market profits and losses. So just then upon what do I base my review and rating? In essence, where am I coming from? Only this: does the book tell me exactly what to do? Does this book or any book like it give me the secret sauce recipe, the system to follow, the step-by-step check list method to stock market success? Or does the book merely recite vague feel good advice without providing a useful or followable strategy? I am rating this book highly, because the author provides the reader with a nearly exact system to follow. In other words, the author shares his secret sauce with us. From the first page of chapter one we are rewarded with the start of a checklist regarding "What is a Perfect Swing Setup?", e.g., item 2: "Near 10-day high (within 3% of it)". The author provides us with eight such criteria (presented in big print) followed by example charts and explanations. This is a short book with many chart examples and printed with a large font size. It should not take too long to read. Will you make money by following it? Beats me. But if you find yourself with some toss into the ring $$ and some good to go guts, then this book provides a quick turn-key & out of the box approach to making trades.

I guess it is an ok book to lead you to a subscription with Mr. Ivanov. It is an ok read

Loved the book. I've been learning to swing trade for a couple of years and I've read many of the well-known and recommended trading books, but this is my favorite. I'm not a member of Social Leverage 50.com (yet) but I've followed Mr. Ivanov on StockTwits and I have learned a lot from his blog. Another bonus to reading his daily posts is his great sense of humor.Mr. Ivanov has a talent for explaining trading concepts in an interesting and concise way. In the book, he tells you how to find the best swing setups, when to buy and when to sell. He explains risk/reward in a way I can finally understand. One thing I really liked was the way he illustrated breakouts by showing charts of stocks that have broken out very recently.This isn't a long book, but it doesn't need to be because it isn't filled with stories (or fluff as another reviewer said), it's packed with valuable information that can make you a successful swing trader. I intend to read it again soon, and refer to it in the future.

Simple book. Easy to follow strategies. It would be nice if he went a little more into detail on some of his work. Its very broad

This is a great explanation of swing trading and gives real, actionable advice to the reader. I am also a trader and it's easy to tell he knows how to trade and is not just a pundit. I love swing trading because it doesn't require you to sit in front of your charts all day like day trading but it still requires work. This book will give you good ideas on some of he steps and actions to take when looking for good swing trading setups as well as good money management.

The book outlines a viable approach to swing trading but is not particularly well written. Could be a little more systematic and detailed about precise entries and exits and could put a little more into discussing risk management.

So many trader books have too much intricate detail-- you know, the too many indicators thing. That is not user-friendly.I needed a robust system, user friendly, easy to use under the stress of trading. This is it. A short book that explains swing trading in a way that makes it easy for you to develop your own systemsIt has made me money, and saved me money. Saved my confidence as well.Buy and study it.

Another good book written about Swing Trading and Swing Trading only. The author is very direct and to the point. He does not tell his life stories or brag on his successes but focuses on the trading only and maybe that's why it is a short book. I read the whole thing in less than a day taking my time. Compared to Omar Bassal' s "Swing Trading for Dummies", this book may be a little above beginners. Though as a beginner, I did not have difficulty following the author. I would suggest it to anyone interested in educating themselves on Swing Trading.
