As such, today we have a guest post for FOREX traders (and for traders of currency ETFs as well). If you have no interest in FOREX or currency ETFs, just […]

Over the past few weeks, a vast majority of stocks and ETFs have been selling off alongside of the broad market. Exceptions in the realm of ETFs have been mostly limited to select commodity ETFs, such as precious metals and oil/gas. We remain long and bullish on ProShares Ultra Silver ETF ($AGQ), as well as […]
We have mentioned several times recently that the NASDAQ has been the lone holdout in the broad market, in terms of it being the only index holding above its 50-day moving average. Even with yesterday’s (August 27) sharp losses, the index is still above this important level of support (but now within 1% of it). […]
Since I just made two new blog posts yesterday, I am a bit hesitant to post another today because I don’t want to overwhelm readers. However, this swing trade alert is timely and actionable, so I wanted to make sure you knew about it ASAP. As you may recall from my August 18 blog post […]
In an uptrending market, the two main types of technical setups we buy for swing trading leading individual stocks are Breakouts and Pullbacks. Over the past four weeks, Internet giant Amazon.com ($AMZN) has been in pullback mode and may soon provide a low-risk buy entry with a positive reward-risk ratio. Because $AMZN has retraced just […]
One week ago, in this blog post, we pointed out the bullish trend reversal pattern of iShares Silver Trust ($SLV) and said we were stalking the ETF for potential buy entry. Specifically, we said, “$SLV has convincingly broken out above resistance of a downtrend line (dotted black line) that had been in place throughout all […]
On July 11, we bought Workday, Inc. ($WDAY) at $66.16. Now, less than a month later, the stock is trading above the $74 level (an unrealized share price gain of approx. 12% as of August 9). In this educational trading strategy video, we clearly show you how we used short-term trend lines to help us […]
After completing our weekend stock scanning research, Himax Technologies ($HIMX) has entered our radar screen as a potential swing trade buy entry in the coming days. This small-cap tech company manufactures the liquid-crystal on silicon chips that power the displays of Google Glass, and is presently forming the “handle” portion of a cup and handle chart pattern. […]
Swing traders rely on a diverse arsenal of technical indicators when analyzing stocks, and there are literally hundreds of indicators to choose from. But how is a new trader supposed to know which indicators are most reliable? Deciding which technical indicators to use can frankly be a bit overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be […]
Earlier this week, in our Live Trading Room (exclusively for subscribers of The Wagner Daily newsletter), we discussed why we prefer to build a position in a stock that has formed a bullish base of price consolidation, rather than immediately buying full share size at the obvious breakout level. Many traders scale in to a trade, […]
