Options for Swing Trading ― Leverage and Low Risk to Maximize Short-term Trading

Options traders know all about leverage, and swing traders are keenly aware of entry and exit timing as the key to profits. But many risks are involved, especially when selling short. This book shows the experienced trader at an intermediate or advanced level how to combine these two trading skills into a single, powerful set of strategies to maximize leverage while minimizing risk. This book uses actual stock and option examples and charts to demonstrate how the strategies are applied in the market. The well-known swing trader "set-up" and reversal signals are made even more effective with the use of candlestick chart reversal indicators, which are explained as part of the swing trading strategy. This is one of the best strategic technical trading ideas today because high volatility is a benefit to swing trading, while options minimize risk exposure.
