New Swing Trading Signals for April 10, 2009

This post is to announce that our weekend batch of new swing trading signals is available at the TradeRadar Alert HQ Swing Signals page.

After Wells Fargo pre-announced robust earnings, stocks took off this week. As a result, we have a lot more BUY signals on our list.

Our system looks for those stocks and ETFs that have exceeded their upper or lower Bollinger Bands and then have moved back inside the Bollinger Band envelope by a certain amount. Our interpretation is that there is a reversal underway and a short-term trading opportunity has presented itself.

Today we have a total of 58 swing trading signals or which 39 are BUYs and 19 are SELLs.

To see today's list you can check out the TradeRadar Swing Signals page. All 58 stocks are listed, plus we provide a free download in the form of a CSV text file which can be easily opened in Excel or any text editor. In addition to the signal and the stock symbol, we also provide some basic fundamental data to help you select the stocks that are of most interest to you.

For a more detailed explanation of how the system works, click on the label at the bottom of this post.

What approach should the average 401K investor take? Let's assume that the investor is contributing on a regular basis to one of these retirement accounts. There are two questions that the investor needs to ask: 1. Should I stop putting the regular contribution into stocks? My feeling is that investors making regular contributions are being handed a present by the markets. Every week the market goes down, these investors are lowering their average cost. When markets reco...

The Trouble with Trend Reversal Indicators

Many of us use various trend reversal indicators to time our trades. Our desire is to determine when prices have changed direction so that we can ride the new trend. Why doesn't it always work out? The first reason, of course, is that unforeseen events often drive prices in unexpected directions. That is something we can't change and it often makes all of us technical traders crazy. On the other hand, sometimes an unforeseen event is a prelude to a new trend. A stock spikes up on a what seems to be a one-time piece of good fortune and soon falls back. Does it start making its way back up or does it resume a previous down trend? The conflict within trend reversal indicators is that, though they can definitely tell when prices change direction, they suffer from two problems. One, they often can't determine how significant that move in prices actually will be. Two, they are often lagging indicators. As such, they can be late in providing a signal, sometimes leading the investo...
