The table below shows our swing trade results. This is a service we started for our members on 10/18/2011. We will be 'tweaking' our trading methods on these until we are very comfortable with them, so check back often as the results should keep improving over time. Our entry method on swing trades involves a 'scale in process' so the table below shows our average price for the position, not each individual purchase.

I took a flat trade because Europe has me nervous and it just felt prudent to go into the weekend flat. I need to change my mindset away from the day trader mentality on these and let them either work, or stop me out. |

Another Friday where I don't want to leave my neck out there for Greece to cut it off over the weekend. I still need therapy to help me hold these longer. |

Pretty nice gain for just a few trading days. This may have more in it, but I won't turn my back on this quick gain. Time to start stalking the next one. |

This one may still squeeze, but it stopped going up so we will just move on to the next one. I really don't want to hold overnight longer than I have to. |

Upon further review the night after starting this position, I decided it didn't meet all my parameters so we promptly sold it the next morning at the opening bell. |

This stock still has promise in my opinion, but I'm happy with 10% in about a week. |

The only thing I did right here was not adding to our small position lower when I saw how poorly it was acting. I was saying early in the week that this was trading poorly and could open around a dollar one day soon if they got bad news on that well they drilled. I will not call anything like this again. |

We got almost 9% on the first 1/2 (sold at 4.08) but had to kill the rest on a weak market day. |

I thought we would get a better bounce, but didn't want a gain to turn into a loss so killed it for a small gain. |

I handled this one terribly. I made the error of getting caught up in the story. No more cheapie stocks for swing trades. |
