I’m a swing trader of momentum stocks with a holding period of anywhere from a few hours to a few months. I run a number of screens nightly to locate the strongest stocks out there using technical analysis to determine my entries and exits. After a huge loss last February when the Chinese market suffered a huge drawdown, I implemented a market timing system that determines when it's best to be long, short or on the sidelines, using a number of proprietary indicators. Short selling and options are part of my strategy as I feel that hedging and versatility are key to surviving today’s financial markets. I believe that to have longevity in this field one must find ways to calm the mind and trade from a detached point of view.
