Alan Farley's unique methods and instincts can help you to see opportunities in the gaps and channels that are invisible to other traders. And you can have a shot at the kind of success that Alan has had.
Swing trading offers you short-term setups of a few days to several weeks. It gives you a happy medium between the frenzied pace of the day trader and the disadvantages faced by the long-term investor. The profit breaks aren't dependent on market conditions. And they may be lower risk than other, shorter-term methods you may have tried.
The swing trade advantage.
Here's an example of what a swing trade is and how this method could help enhance your trading success:
A swing trading example: A swing trader looking at this chart might have made the following analysis and ended up with a 20% profit in 20 days.
The chart above is a swing trader's map to making money. Swing traders use charts like this one to manage their entry and exit points and maximize their chances for the highest profits. The trick is to buy in one of three places: At the bottom of the channel, within narrow bars at the top of the channel, or right above the channel if the stock breaks through.
See how a late September rally pushed Microsoft through its 50-day moving average (MA) into resistance at the 200-day MA.
A swing trader might plan an exit near the 200-day MA, and if it works, he may come away with good profits that wouldn't necessarily be found by other trading strategies. In this example, an alert swing trader could have bought at channel bottom, just around 52, and sold when the stock reached the 200-day MA, just above 62, for a 20% profit in just 20 days.
Charts like these are familiar to veteran swing traders. What may not be so familiar to you is Alan Farley's brilliance in finding where he believes the profits are hidden in those charts before they play out. But then, he's been doing it awhile...
How Alan Farley mastered the swing trader techniques.
For over 20 years Alan was a businessman just like so many others, trading on the side. And like so many others, he searched for ways to make his trading more profitable. It didn't take him long to discover technical analysis. This, he figured, would give his investments more direction.
Alan began absorbing everything available on technical analysis. For three years he did this. He used what he learned, and mastered the techniques. Then he began tinkering with the techniques, adjusting them when they didn't work the way he thought they should.
What Alan had discovered that made him so successful was that it's the ability not only to look at the market each day and see what others don't, but also to use a simple, predictable, repeatable process to exploit what you see. It's a combination of instinct and technique.
And because of these two factors, there are swing traders...and then there are what some call master-level swing traders.
That's the opportunity we're giving you to enjoy. Since Alan has discovered the key to being a big winner — and becoming one himself — he has turned his passion to helping other traders secure their own fortunes. You can learn more about his methods as you read on.

Let Alan Farley teach you to see what he sees — that constant market imbalance creates predictable, high-probability, but hard-to-see trade setups. Yet like with patterns of color that reveal photo images when viewed correctly, you can learn to see these opportunities like Alan does and take advantage of them before others see them — and before they disappear.
How you could be successful when you use Alan's swing trading techniques.
Traders who learn swing trading's singular way of seeing predictable market patterns can make money that other traders never know is there. Before others ever see the setup, you've taken your profits and moved on.
It's all about staying one step ahead of the crowd, and competitively outwitting the market. By following clear analytical charts you can learn to avoid emotional actions and find the hidden "execution zone" where you trounce skittish investors who trade en masse at the rise or drop of a point. That's the most predictable, frequent way to uncover uncommon and consistent
profit opportunities.
Pattern cycles promise you predictable profits.
Pattern cycles keep you focused on unemotional (and therefore often profitable) investing. These cycles recognize that markets travel through repeated bullish and bearish conditions in various time frames. They're fueled by the eternal market motivators — greed and fear — at every stage of price development.
Prices fall and fear releases discounted equities into patient value hands. Prices rise and mindless greed bids up hot shares into the pockets of momentum players. On and on it goes through all markets and time frames: the emotional crowd generates constant price imbalances that swing traders can exploit. But successful execution requires precision in both time
and direction.
That's where The Daily Swing Trade by Alan Farley becomes your essential guide. You don't have to be a "master" already, because The Daily Swing Trade by Alan Farley gives you valuable tools that guide you through the market every day.
A combination of fundamental and technical analysis forms the backbone of Alan's swing trading methods. 3-D charts are your maps, and pattern cycles are your guides, all found in The Daily Swing Trade by Alan Farley.

Here's another theoretical swing trade:
A swing trading example: In this hypothetical example, on Friday, October 12, Juniper jumped 26% on three times its average daily volume to a price of $21.50 — a 62% bounce off its prior freefall. This kind of big volume spike is a call to arms for swing traders who try to spot these types of opportunities. The new price target is its pre-sell-off point of $29.
While a momentum player might jump in immediately, the swing trader stands aside and takes a close look at the charting landscape.
The horizontal line in the chart showed strong resistance, but if a market can break it cleanly, odds favor a rally all the way back to the beginning of the prior selloff. For Juniper, this meant a healthy price target of $29. Not bad for a trade you might put on for one to two weeks.
A normal bear bounce would predict a rollover to the downtrend at this resistance level. But the powerful volume you see in the chart shifts the dynamics so that a breakout above resistance becomes the
higher-odds play.
A swing trading example: strong gaps are a trader's best friends — or worst enemies. Swing traders can profit from the strong vertical movement the gaps create.
Swing traders can profit from the pressure caused by gaps.
Now note the gaps. For this setup you had two gaps to work with, one above and one below the October 12 range. One might say that the price was caught between an irresistible force and an immovable object.
Swing traders love these boxed-in hotspots because they can generate strong vertical movement.
Sure enough, a trader who jumped in at around $20.50 would have seen Juniper's price rise to about $27 by October 24, for a 32% increase in just eight days. That's close enough to the $29 target, and time to take profits and start looking for another setup...

Swing traders can find profits in the most unlikely places.
In late October, 2001, overextended Viisage Technology (VISG) showed good accumulation and a bullish pattern, plus a setup that wouldn't force you to trade through a test of the October high.
A swing trading example: Note the drop just before the October 4 rally, and then the second drop. Perfect conditions for a sudden price move.
Viisage is overextended, to be sure, but a knowledgeable swing trader knows that you just need one price bar, as long as it's a big one. And by looking at the chart above, a swing trader might expect that big one to show up, because a pattern is clear, as shown in the drop just before the October 4th rally and then the two weeks up through October 22. These are perfect conditions for a sudden and violent price move.
But keep in mind that this is a swing trade, not an investment. What Alan would teach you is that you need to locate a safe exit now in case the price doesn't go in the expected direction.
Alan always insists on finding a safe exit before you invest.
Now look at the intraday chart for another hypothetical example:
A swing trading example: A master swing trader uses this type of pattern to manage entry and exit plans.
In this hypothetical example, a swing trader might see that the past seven sessions are confined within a narrow parallel channel. A swing trader can use this convenient pattern to manage an entry. The trick is to buy in one of three places: at the bottom of the channel, within narrow bars at the top of the channel, or right above the channel if Viisage breaks through it.
Then you use this small pattern to place a logical stop loss in case the market turns against the predictable direction.
With the right charts you'll be able to plan your exit before making the trade so you can calculate your potential reward. In the hypothetical case of Viisage seen above, that outside day on October 16 would have trapped a lot of weak hands. A swing trader would not want to stick around and find out how badly he wants out of this stock. So the swing trader's first target is on October 14, the top of the bounce right after the sell-off.
You could have taken your money there, or tightened up a trailing stop and watched for a breakout over that number. If you got it, you'd want to exit as soon as you get one long intraday bar above October 14. Why? Because that's exactly where you should expect the sellers to come in.
