Swing Trading the Stock Market
Welcome to Swing Trading the Stock Market Podcast! I want you to become a better trader, and you know what? You absolutely can! Commit these three rules to memory and to your trading: #1: Manage the RISK ALWAYS! #2: Keep the Losses Small #3: Do #1 & #2 and the profits will take care of themselves. That's right, successful swing-trading is about managing the risk, and with Swing Trading the Stock Market podcast, I encourage you to email me ([email protected]) your questions, and there's a good chance I'll make a future podcast out of your stock market related question.
Should You Trade Futures?
For traders, whether you are a swing trader or not, jumping into futures is a huge mistake and one that should be avoided. Not understanding the margin requirements, the leverage, and the emotional environment it creates for traders is one of many reasons that makes success in trading futures so difficult, and one that you should avoid, even when society, social media and everything in between tells you otherwise.

Trading High and Low Beta Stocks
Watching the dollars rise and fall in your trading account can turn a well-planned swing trade into an emotional, deeply personal decision. In this episode, I explain why focusing on price action, percentage returns, and R-multiples can help you avoid cutting winners early, holding losers too long, and abandoning your trading plan.
