Get Swing Trade Alerts in Real Time by Text or Email

All our trade alerts have a backtested statistical edge.

Our Swing Trading Service

At Stock Market Guides, we offer a Swing Trading Service that includes trade alerts for our favorite picks. Our service only features swing trading opportunities that have a quantitative backtested edge. We don’t shoot from the hip with trade ideas here. We rely exclusively on the data. This means that if you get a swing trade alert, it’s because there is a trade opportunity that has a track record of success in backtests.

Our Swing Trading Alerts

Clear Trade Instructions

Each swing trade alert gives you the details needed to follow the trade idea: ticker symbol, entry instructions, and exit instructions.

Backtested Signals Behind Every Pick

Our swing trade alerts are based on trading signals the stock qualifies for. You can see how those signals have performed historically in backtests for each stock we alert, including wins, losses, and return on investment.

Millions of Backtests Reviewed Daily

Each day, our system reviews millions of backtested trade outcomes across 100+ signals, 300+ indicators, and 5,000+ ticker symbols. Then we narrow that research down to the strongest swing trade opportunities we find and alert you.

Performance of Swing Trade Alerts

The goal of this service is to send customers trade setups in real time that have shown meaningful historical performance. Every swing trade pick we make has at least one signal with a 75%+ annualized return in backtests. Most traders would not have the time or tools to find these setups on their own. Our system does the heavy research work for you.

Please note that this performance information is not based on live trades, but on backtests, which have important limitations. Swing trading in the stock market involves risk, even when trade setups have a strong history of profitability. You can dial your risk down or up by adjusting your position sizing or the number of trades you take. The more risk that’s taken, the higher the potential for drawdowns. You can also start out by paper trading stocks to get a feel for the trades before putting real money at risk.

Features of Our Swing Trading Picks

For Active Stock Traders

Our swing trade picks are designed for people who are looking to hold positions for 1 week to 1 month. These picks are for active stock traders. We send out up to two stock picks per day with our Swing Trading Service, depending on market conditions. If you're looking for less active stock trading than that, you can consider our buy-and-hold stock picking service, where trades often last three months to a year. For options, you could check out our option trade alerts service, which is based on swing trading strategies.

No Hype. Just Data-Driven Picks.

This service isn't about hype or fluff. Our approach is all about the data. With each pick we make, you can see the detailed backtest results associated with each signal. You get full transparency.

Includes Budget Picks

Our Swing Trading Service includes budget picks where the stock price is less than $20 per share for each one.

Just Minutes per Day to Follow Along

This service is designed for people who don't have the time to do their own research. We do the research and alert you when we make a pick. A built-in position size calculator also saves time.

Good for Beginners

We have tutorials that show how to follow along with the trades. And if questions come up, contact us and see why our customer service staff has gotten high praise from others. See testimonials.

Support from Swing Trading Experts

We have swing trading experts who offer commentary on a regular basis regarding both our trade alerts and the general state of the market. Their commentary gets sent out to the group in an email newsletter. These experts are readily available for any questions you might have along the way.

Stock Picks Based on Technical Analysis

For our swing trade alerts, our picks are based primarily on technical analysis. This means that our trade ideas are based on these types of criteria:

Chart Patterns

Chart patterns give us clues about where buying pressure might be likely to occur.

Stock Indicators

Stock indicators help us identify when a stock might be primed to go up.

Candlestick Patterns

Candlestick patterns can help us evaluate where a stock might be headed.

If you're looking for stock picks based instead on fundamental analysis, like revenues and earnings, you can consider our service for long term stock picks instead. All of the trading strategies we use for our swing trade alerts are algorithmic.

Swing Trade Alerts That Are Easy to Follow

We send trade alert notifications when we make swing trade picks. They are sent in real time by either text or email, depending on your preference. Trade alerts are sent during normal market hours (typically right after the market opens). You can be alerted when the trade ends, too. We post our picks before the market opens each day, so you can prepare for the trade before the alert is sent if you prefer.

Swing Trading Tutorials

Swing trading is where you make trades that last more than one day but are not long term holds. It’s in between day trading and long-term investing. If you are swing trading, you might own a given stock or option for a matter of days or weeks, not years.

Once you sign up for the service, you’ll find tutorials that teach the basics about how to follow along with our swing trade alerts. You can also learn a lot about different swing trading signals by reading the descriptions for the signals cited in our trade alerts. Our goal is to make sure you will have the tools to be able to successfully follow our swing trade alerts no matter what your trading expertise level is. And if questions come up along the way, you can contact us any time and we’ll be ready to help.
