    About this ebook

    How to Swing Trade for a Living for all beginning aspiring investors and traders who are just getting their head around doing the swing trading business and want to work from home. Everyone has their own ideas of what they think swing trading is and what it can do for them. How to Swing Trade for a Living is for beginners and will detail many of the things that a brand new swing trader must learn to do before they can become consistently profitable in the live markets.

    How to Swing Trade for a Living will be an incredible read for someone who has zero knowledge and wants to start their own swing trading business from home or someone who has some basic experience who is struggling with their trading and investing. This is a very good book for the beginner as it is easy to absorb information; if you're new all you need to do at this point is try to absorb what is said here.

    One of the reasons swing trading is so profitable is because the expenses associated with this type of market action are low and do not add up as quickly as they do with other types of trading. Remember, it takes money to make money and also costs money to make money in the live markets. You can begin swing trading with very low capital as long as you have your rule based plan in place and have systematically tested it out.

      10 Easy Ways to Make a Full Time Income

      By J.R. Lira

      Copyright 2018

      How to use the information in this book right away

      The information in How to Swing Trade for a Living can give you a head start on your swing trading business and get you on the fast track to making real money right away in the live financial markets. It will be up to you to follow the advice in the book though, there are lots of decisions to make before you even start learning anything or study anything. I recommend you take your time and learn to do this business the right way from the first day, doing it any other way can and will get your trading capital account FUBAR.

      There are links to some references in the book which I have made clickable for your ease of use. All you need to do is click on the link and it should take you directly to the information in the reference, all clickable links were live as of the writing of this book. I encourage you to do more research on your own after having read this entire book once or twice, you will not be able to digest all of the information this book provides in one reading as a self-directed beginner.

      I wrote How to Swing Trade for a Living for all beginning aspiring investors and traders who are just getting their head around doing the swing trading business and want to work from home. Everyone has their own ideas of what they think swing trading is and what it can do for them. How to Swing Trade for a Living is for beginners and will detail many of the things that a brand new trader must learn not to do before they can become consistently profitable in the live markets. You’re heard the saying just say no to drugs, just say no to day trading and you and your account will be waaaaay ahead of the game to start off. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, OK, continue with your insanity and read this entire book to give yourself a fighting chance.

      Picture yourself throwing all your startup capital into the bon fire at the party you’ll throw for yourself for starting your new trading business up and watch it burn up in smoke and flames right before your very eyes. You smell that? That’s all your money burning up because you went to fast or did not learn what to do the right way from the first day of your business and did not develop the needed edge to compete at the highest level. Trust me when I say, the sharks in the market will chomp up your trading account without hesitation. We’ll get to the sharks a little later on in the book so you know who they are and what they can do to you as a brand new beginner trader.

      Here is one more tip I will give you before you get going. If you are a beginner and are going to swing trade live with real money and you have only been studying investing and trading for less than one year I recommend you only trade a micro account. You can do this on an account size of as little as $500 dollars to start and still be in the live market making real trades with real money. You won’t make a lot of money however it will give you a taste of the live market environment both good and bad. If you want to try to earn as you learn this is the only way you can do it.

      Use How to Swing Trade for a Living as an overview or a guide if you will, for what to do first to become consistently profitable from day trading. I give you concise information as to what to learn first and what to look for as far as further information is concerned. I tell you only the most critical things to learn first because those are absolutely the most important and the ones that will make you money right away if you do them. How to Swing Trade for a Living is written to provide straightforward, easy to understand and easy to apply advice, tips and techniques that can be the backbone of any traders success in the financial markets.

      Instead of trying to read How to Swing Trade for a Living fast I recommend that you go slow and look up and search for the main things the book talks about that will help you to become successful right away. Skip over anything that is important and it could for sure cause you to lose some money. No one wants that now, right?

      How to Swing Trade for a Living will be an incredible read for someone who has zero knowledge and wants to start their own trading business from home or someone who has some basic experience who is struggling with their trading and investing. I purposely do not put any charts or graphs in this book and I will tell you why. This is a very good book for the beginner as it is easy to absorb information; since you’re new all you need to do at this point is try to absorb what is said here.

      If you need to study each thing one at a time so you can fully grasp it so be it. You do not need to be in any hurry, the market is always going to be there waiting to give you a chance to make money. You can start trading today as I said, on as little as $500 capital to start with.

      If you can just grasp the basic principles in this book and then think about them logically for a moment you will begin to be able to visualize yourself doing this business, if my twelve year old niece can do it so can you, she is learning trading and will never need a regular job in her life because of it.

      I work maybe 30 minutes a week reviewing my open positions in the live market. I let my rule based plan do what it is designed to do and I let the smart money in the market do all the heavy lifting to get the rest of the job done, can you get your head around working 30 minutes a week?

      I did not put all the history of the financial markets and all the stats in How to Swing Trade for a Living. You can look all of that up online at your leisure if you want to know that information. While it is good to know, it will not make you real money in the live markets every day.

      You’re asking yourself what will make you money every day in the live markets. Let’s get to it shall we.

      Know why you want to trade for a living – it’s not just about the money

      Begin with the end in mind I always say. There are a lot of things to consider when thinking about becoming a professional market investor and trader. You are the one who is making the decision to get into the trading and investing business, no one is making you do it. It is a big step for someone to take the plunge into the world of making money with money. One has to look inside one’s self and ask some very hard questions before they start driving their own money train down the tracks to riches in the live markets.

      It is very important to have figured out what your ultimate goals are before you step foot into the markets with your hard earned real money. Questions I ask new people are: are you trading for short term income or long term wealth building? Are you trying to build up your account balance to be able to take on more risk and trade larger size? I ask them why they want to do this business. I ask them if they know what their goals for the long term are and if they are thinking with a long term perspective.

      If a new investor or trader cannot answer these questions right away I just encourage them to stay out of the live markets until they can answer them and be honest. I also will ask them how much capital they plan to enter the live markets to work with; there is no point in trying to enter the live markets with scared money.

      Here are some of the main things you need to ask yourself and have made a decision on before you get going. Are you trading for short term income? Are you trading to build up an account balance so you can start trading multiple shares, lots or contracts? Are you trading for long term wealth goals and/or retirement and wish to be a buy and hold type of investor?
