A:   On average, we will recommend 3 to 5 trades each day in The Trader's Tribune. However, it depends on the day and the market conditions.

Q:   How do you find stocks to trade each day?

A:   The most common way we find stocks to recommend each day is through technical analysis. By anticipating major technical swings or breakouts in stocks, we can realize incredible profits. However, we will also scan stocks using fundamental analysis, most active lists, and newswires. We typically only recommend active stocks, meaning we will only look stocks with enough volume and volatility to move intra-day and over a 1-5 day period.

Q:   Do your trading methods work in different market conditions?

A:   Market fluctuations do not affect our style of trading. Our methods only demand a certain degree of volatility. We have made a lot of money on some of the biggest down days on Wall Street. In fact, a down market can enhance opportunities for traders using our strategies.

Q:   Do you provide intra-day updates for recommended stocks?

A:   Yes, if one of our recommended stocks makes a significant move in either direction, we will update all subscribers of the move intra-day. If we change our view or strategy of a previously recommended trade during the day, all subscribers will be immediately notified of this change.

Q:   After you recommend a stock, do you follow it and update subscribers?

A:   Of course! We will never leave any subscriber in the dark about any stock we recommend. We provide detailed updates of each stock still on our "play list". If a previously recommended stock is ever sold or removed from our "play list", subscribers will be notified. See examples of our detailed updates in The Trader's Tribune sample.

Q:   How much capital do I need to swing trade for a living?

A:   A larger account leads to higher buying power. Higher buying power opens the door to more opportunities such as buying more shares, opening multiple positions and buying higher priced stocks. Higher priced stocks have more potential for volatility (movement of price) and opening multiple positions could allow you to increase profitability when a market trend is evident.

Many successful swing traders have started with small accounts -- $10,000 or less -- however, their risk management skills must be very good to avoid large losses.

Q:   Do you recommend intra-day trades in The Trader's Tribune?

A:   We frequently send out intra-day alerts to update subscribers of major news or price swings in stocks in which we have positions or are following. If we feel the market conditions are ripe for profits when trading intra-day, we will include intra-day recommendations in the newsletter. However, because of our swing trading strategy, you will not find intra-day trades recommended everyday.

Q:   Do you hold stocks overnight?

A:   Most Tribune recommendations will have a 2 day to 2 week holding period, in which case we could hold stocks for many nights in a row. This holding period allows us to take advantage of major technical trends in stocks. So yes, we will almost always hold stocks overnight.

Q:   Do you have a specific broker you recommend trading with?

Not at the present time. However, we are researching potential broker partners to bring you the best brokerage service at special Market Insider rates.

Q:   Do I need to know a lot about computers?

A:   Simply put, no. The Trader's Tribune is automatically delivered to your e-mail box before midnight of each trading day. Therefore, all you really need to know is how to check your e-mail.

Q:   How much do your services cost?

A:   The cost to receive our daily trading newsletter, The Trader's Tribune, each evening is $49 per month. However, we offer significant discounts when you sign up three months or a year in advance. See The Trader's Tribune's rates page for exact pricing.
