Swing Trading Signals and Set-ups | AAPL, BA, IBM, MMM

Powerful swing trading strategy for traders who wish to always trade with the trend and enjoy a high percent win. Losing swing traders can start here to change results and find consistent profits in today’s tough markets.

Warning – stocks are risky investments. Consult with a professional advisor and learn about the risks of trading before making a decision involving stocks and other markets.

This week’s broader stock market action makes for tough choices for traders, as price has been mostly range-bound. We will therefore focus on shorter term swing trading set-ups and attempt to capture swing trading profits as price moves back and forth in the larger range. I always prefer to swing trade in longer time frames as they make considerably more consistent profits and have much lower transaction cost impact on a trading account. I was able to find one rubber band swing trade in the weekly chart time frame (MMM)

BA and IBM hit their upper extremes last week and may present a good place to go short this week according to the rubber band swing trading strategy on the 60-minute chart. Keep them in your watchlist and only take entry when the time is right.

As with all 60-minute chart rubber band swing trades do not place overnight entry stop orders. Price may gap too far past the entry place and leave you with a terrible entry. This is not acceptable. Pass on rubber band swing trades in which you can’t get an execution close to the desired entry price. Passing on trades and not chasing is part of what it takes to be a successful swing trader in the long term.
