Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I was originaly looking for a book to learn how to do day trading. Unfortunately, after a couple of intro books to day trading, I was left with more questions than I started with. I didn’t know the first thing about the stock market and all these intro books assumed you knew the basics to trading stocks. That’s when I turned to the tried and true “for dummies” series. I wanted to get day trading for dummies but the reviews implied the same problem I have had with the other intro books. Luckily, I came across a review that recommeneded this book for true stock market noobs. This is the best “for dummies” book I have read to date! Not only does the book cover the process of buying and trading stocks but they stop and explain terms and concepts about the stock market. This book is a wealth of knowledge and provides concrete examples when explaining trading concepts. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in trading stocks wether your looking to day trade, swing trade or be a long term investor.

⭐This book served as a perfect launch to my trading career. It provided a solid base from which to begin and subsequent experience has expanded and modified my trading strategy (There’s no getting around the learning of doing and the mistakes that ensures). Before this book I had no framework to take even a first step toward trading. After finishing I was able to confidently “set up shop” and begin earning the experience that has me producing a consistently improving income through a steady, consistent application of the principles laid out within this book.

⭐The best introduction to short term stock trading that I have come across. My first sit-down with the book was a refreshing and welcome break from the overwhelming noise of hyped, get-rich-quick trading advice that is out there. I’ve had my copy a few years now, and I still refer to it’s worn pages occasionally when I need a quick reminder on a swing trading topic.Mr. Bassal covers all the important topics with a friendy, easy tone that stresses realistic expectations and discipline. Technical analysis, fundamentals, risk and money management, screening, entries and exits, and more – it’s all there and presented at a novice level. The author also includes important advice on relative strength and the effects of trends in other markets (e.g., currencies, bonds) on equities.I have also noticed that his teaching correlates well with some of the more advanced books out there, such as those of Dr. Elder. I do recommend Elder’s titles as a follow up to this Dummies book.Great work and many thanks to Omar Bassal!

⭐Swing Trading is a style of intermediate term investing; longer than one day, but not longer than a month, or two.This is not a book about “buy and hold” investing.There are several sub-categories of Swing trading. I personally have learned to “swing trade” by selling options, or option spreads, that are scheduled to expire worthless within two days to two months..Many traders already have systems, and preconceived ideas about how they work their trading. If this is a new subject for you, you may want to read this book from start to finish. Should you be a seasoned investor/trader, you will probably read through selected chapters, or quickly page through the book, while selecting sections of interest to concentrate on; so as to improve your swing trading methodologies.This book gives some good info on trends; what we look for ourselves. Chart trend lines, support and resistance points, and other chart formations are not exceedingly hard to look for, and find. I consider them to be an important part of my own swing trading work.As with other Dummies books, this is a fine book to learn the basics. It will give you more ideas that you will ever be able to use. Your main object should be to find one thing that will help you at a time. You will find many ideas in this book.Some of these ideas may help you greatly. Pay particular attention to the chapter on Managing Risk; Here you will find stories about how traders survive to keep trading for another day.Do not stop with this book, but make it your beginning.. If you love to trade, you will feel the need to keep learning about it.Use this book as a start, and move on to read about Swing Trading from other more system specific books.Lastly, use various guides like Kiplinger, Barron’s, or Cramer’s show, but also develop a system(s) so that you learn think for yourself. In that way you can filter the options of others through your own system, as you learn to make it a more and more reliable money maker.This book will help you find your first, or new swing trading system.I wish you good trading.

⭐After reading several books about swing trading, I think this is one of the better ones.It explains it from A to Z in a simple and understandable manner.Full of good tips and advices.I would recommend this book to anyone who is starting or considering to start swing trading, or for someone who just wants to refresh their knowledge.

⭐Swing Trading for Dummies is a good overview, but does not go deep enough into the weeds. The author notes that if you want to learn more about candlestick patterns, then get tge Candlestick Charting for Dummies, and Technical Analysis for Dummies. I bought all three and am currently reading the Candlestick Charting book. I am loving the Candlestick Charting book because its a deep dive into the patterns. I’m also looking forward to the Technical Analysis book.

⭐I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about swing trading. It is written in a good, clear and logical way.My only complaint is that some links in the book didn’t work, but I googled them myself. Also some of the recommended stock searching and trading platforms are available only on Windows. They have paid trial so after I purchased them I had to request a refund.

⭐Good book. Nearly 10 years since published, so some of the references and charts are from another time, but still works and the general content is timeless.Clear and easy to read if you have some understanding of the basics of technical analysis.Does not get into the detail on tools and indicators that some other books in the field do (eg Elder, Pring, Murphy), which is both a strength and a weakness.Good sections on risk and money management.Overall, a good introduction for a newcomer, and a good refresher for someone already trading – prompted me to look at and identify ways in which my existing trading techniques and behaviours can be improved, and reminded me that using too many indicators can lead to complexity without much value added.If a reader applied the techniques and lessons in the book diligently, improved outcomes can certainly be anticipated.Very good value for the price.

⭐excellent content, usable straight away

⭐perfect, exactly what i wanted

⭐A good background in the phihlosophy.Based on US Markets and products so limited when applicable to UK

⭐I bought and read “Fundamental analysis for dummies”, “technical analysis for dummies” and “swing trading for dummies”. This one puts the first two books into practice. This book is a very hands-on, practical book which tells a novice what to do, unlike the first two which are more theoretical. Its makes sense to combine all, but this one can be used as a stand alone. You could give “candle stick charting for dummies” a pass. Most of the information in that one is freely available on stockcharts.com
