"I'm always on the lookout for "paralysis by analysis". Often less is more when it comes to learning how to trade. It's important to start simply. Like any long term goal, it's best to break it down into manageable pieces. That's how you make progress and avoid feeling overwhelmed."

Swing Trader’s Insight
About Swing Trader’s Insight and Scott Hoffman
I began writing Swing Trader’s Insight in 2000. I wanted to create a futures cheat sheet for myself, so I would have something concise to refer when talking with clients about the futures markets. As time went on, I started sending this out to clients, so they could follow what I covered.
Swing Trader’s Insight is a set of a two broad pattern and indicator-based methodologies. The first set is designed to recognize and trade volatility breakouts, the second set are based off momentum and momentum reversals.
Swing Trader’s Insight consists of a number of parts:
- A nightly setup sheet that highlights setups for the following session, and gives times for reports and potentially market moving events for the following day.
- A morning “watch list” that highlights overnight developments and potential trades
- Trade and trade management updates, giving specific entry and exit prices, and then managing trades once entered.
- Chart example and analysis emails, to illustrate trading concepts.
- Frequent educational web seminars
Whether they’re novices or experienced traders, STI subscribers find the insights and analysis I provide to be an invaluable service for their trading.
