And you will learn how to do this from a seasoned professional trader, Steven Primo. Steve was previously a 9-year Specialist on the Pacific Stock Exchange for Donaldson Lufkin and Jenrette, Inc.
You will receive all of the course's knowledge and training without leaving the comfort and privacy of your own home through our easy-to-use recorded Internet sessions. These 45- to 75-minute sessions will provide you with the personal touch of a live seminar, but without requiring you to travel.

The TradingMarkets Swing Trading College begins Wednesday April 30 at 6 pm ET and runs weekly for 14 consecutive sessions.
CLASS SIZE IS STRICTLY LIMITED! Our goal is to make sure everyone who attends receives as much individual attention as possible. Therefore each class is limited to only 50 traders. This assures you will receive as much of Steve's time as needed in order for you to master all the strategies and successfully apply them to your trading.
Here is What you Will Learn
What does it take to succeed at swing trading? In order for you to succeed at swing trading, you must have a structured plan which takes advantage of the times where the market has shown historical edges. The majority of the time there is little to no edge. Most traders get hurt when they trade during the times that there is no edge.
Over the entire 14 sessions, we will teach you multiple ways to wait for the edges and then act on those edges. And, we will teach you how to identify those times using statistical evidence to guide you. Even though there is no guarantee that any of these past simulated edges will exist in the future, you will see a common theme throughout our methodology which we believe enables you to become aware of the narrow windows of opportunity where a 3-day to 2-week edge exists.
Here is an Example of One of the Main Strategies in Action, Both in a Rising and Declining Market...

200+ Page Strategy Compilation
You also will receive a detailed 200+ page Strategy Compilation, sent via PDF, to reinforce and deepen your understanding.

What You Will Learn In Each Of Our 14 Training Sessions...
Let's now go deeper into how we will work together during the individual sessions in our 14-session course.
For each of the 45-minute to 2-hour sessions you will receive the following training and ongoing guidance.
- You'll watch how we applied each rule we teach you.-- As you learn our methods, you will observe how they were applied in real world market conditions. Note that the main focus of this real money account trading is educational in nature and will be integrated into the course material throughout the entire 14 session period.
- Review the action and previous week's trade signals. -- Once you begin learning the methods during the second session, you will be able to follow along as Steve reviews the trades that triggered over the past week.
- System Logic. -- We will introduce each method by explaining what it does and how it works. Through chart examples, you'll get a good feel for the kinds of signals each method generates.
- Performance Statistics.-- We'll go over the historical performance of each method and give you an in-depth overview of each method's winning percentages, profit factors, trade duration, trade frequency and performance in different market environments.
- Method Rules. -- There are a small number of rules for each method, and we will not only teach each of them to you, we will also explain the important role that each rule plays in potentially maximizing your profits.

The
Path To Becoming A Successful Swing Trader
Overview
--
First, we'll lay down a foundation of essential
knowledge you need to know about how the markets
work. Come with an open mind, as you learn
concepts which may differ from "conventional
wisdom." From there, we'll build upon this
knowledge to help you get the best results when
you're trading our methods. Here's what
we'll cover in this first session:
-
Which is better...model-driven trading or
discretionary trading?
- In
this section, we'll show you how a good trading
method can eliminate the many years you'd have
to spend learning discretionary strategies
(which require you to learn subjectively and
interpret patterns or data).
-
How do systems work and how can they improve your trading?
- In this section, we will give you some
background on why our approach works and then
walk you through chart examples that clearly
show you how we have captured short-term
moves in high-quality stocks in different market
environments.
- The academic evidence of price behavior
predictors.
-
We will provide you with a brief (and
understandable) overview of the academic studies
and mathematic theories that back
our
methods.

Long-Side Swing Trading Strategies
Overview
In Sessions 2 & 3 you'll receive the first of many systematic strategies that will be taught during the course. First you will begin learning how to identify and trade long-side set-ups which have had historical edges.
Some of the strategies you will learn include:
RS Meteors -You will learn for the first time how to find and trade RS Meteors. This strategy identifies the very most oversold stocks in the market and then enters them looking for sharp moves higher. The average gain for all RS Meteors has been 7.85% per trade going back over 13 years. And the average gain per winning trade has been over 14.3%. Best of all, since 1995, the average holding period has been less than 3 days per trade!
Target Trading Strategy -Target Trading is for those traders who like to use stops in their trading. The strategy allows you to enter stocks looking to earn double the returns versus where the stop is. For example you will learn to buy stocks at $50 a share placing your profit target in at 60 and your stop in at 45. The STC Target Trading Strategy has had excellent success in identifying in model trading these stocks that have returned double their stop risk.
E-SPY Strategy -The E-SPY Strategy has seen, on average, triple-digit annual returns since 1995. The E-SPY Strategy is always long the SPY's and then small portions are replaced with stocks that are oversold and due for a short-term snap-back. You will also be taught how to use this method with liquid, mostly blue chip, stocks in order to achieve higher returns in your trading.
R4 Strategy-You will learn the R4 Strategy, one of the most popular strategies taught in the Swing Trading College. The R4 Strategy can be applied to all stocks and has had consistent performance for more than a decade. From 1995-2007, using the Nasdaq 100 stocks (the entire index as of Jan 1 2008), the R4 Strategy has correctly predicted the direction of these stocks over 78% of the time. And in many of these stocks it's been correct 90% of time and higher including in big name stocks like Apple, BIDU, and Google.
More Swing Trading Strategies- We'll also teach you additional long strategies, including large pullback stratgies to identify high probability swing trades. All these strategies are backed by over a decade of research and each performed positively on the long side nealy all years including volatile years like 2000-2002 and also 2007.
|
|
Session 4 |
|
Successfully Trading on the Short Side
In Session Four we'll teach you how to successfully short stocks. You'll learn how to identify stocks which are extremely overbought and due for a decline. You will learn where to place your entry order and also where to exit after the stock has dropped.
And you will also learn a short selling portfolio strategy which has been profitable every year since 1995 (including the bull years of 1995-1999 and 2003-2006). This is the first time this portfolio strategy has been publicly shared and is one of the very few systematic short selling methodologies we know of which have shown model driven positive gains for 13 consecutive years.

Model-Driven Systematic Trading Strategy
For ETFs |
|
Session 5 |
|
Successfully Trading ETFs
Strategies for Trading The ProShares - The ProShares are among the fastest growing and most popular ETFs to trade. You will learn how to use all the ProShares, how to specifically trade the long ProShares, how to trade the Ultra-Funds which use 2x leverage, and how to trade the Short ProShares which allow you to take advantage of the short side of the indices and sectors. You will recieve some of the most in-depth strategy knowledge available to trade these popular funds.
ETF Power Ratings - As an added bonus, you will have free access to our new ETF PowerRatings. The ETF PowerRatings are being released for the first time and they give you the ratings for all liquid ETFs every day. The ETFs with the highest PowerRatings have consistently outperformed the overall market. You will learn how to use these PowerRatings, the strategies to best use for PowerRatings and how to apply them to your trading each day. Special Note-This session will likely run longer than normal because of the abundance of ETF strategies and material which will be presented. |
Model-Driven Systematic Trading Strategy
For E-minis |
|
Sessions 6 & 7 |
|
Swing Trading the E-minis
Many traders do not have the time or the interest to sit in front of the screen all day. That is why they like swing trading. And one of the best vehicles to swing trade with is the CME E-mini futures for the S&P 500.
During these sessions we'll teach you more than a dozen strategies to swing trade the E-minis. Many of these strategies have been correct from 72% to over 87% of the time since 1997. Each will show you how and when to place your orders in at the end of the day (or at night if you can't be there for the close), and where to exit (again usually at the close or in the evening). If you use the VIX, the TRIN and other popular market indicators, you will now, for the first time, have systematic quantified strategies for using these indicators.
The strategies taught in this session are among the most consistent we have published and you will have knowledge to apply them for years to come.

Model-Driven Systematic Trading Strategy
For Options |
|
Session 8 |
|
Successfully Applying the Swing Trading Strategies to Your Options Trading
Options remain one of the fastest growing areas of interest to traders. The ability to turn small amounts of money into much larger amounts is the reason a record number of traders are trading the options markets.
In Session 8, we will teach you how to take the best of the STC strategies and apply them to options trading. We will take many of the strategies you have been taught and apply them to buying calls, puts and spreads.
Special focus will be on looking at which options, both the deep in-the-money and the much less expensive out-of-the money options can potentially provide you with the biggest gains for the week. And we hope to have a professional options trader with floor experience come in and teach you how he looks at options and how you can apply his professional floor knowledge to your own trading. |

Special Three-Hour Session: Putting Your Portfolio
Together & Creating Your Trading Business
In
Sessions 9 & 10, we will show you the best way to trade
our methods as one cohesive unit. You will
not only benefit from the research that Connors
Research Group has done on how these are best
used, but also from Steve's own experience as a
professional trader and money manager. We have
designed this to be a comprehensive seminar which
will provide you with a long-range edge. Here are
topics that we will cover:
-
How to maximize your returns by minimizing
your expenses. -- There are very few
guarantees that can be made in this business.
But one thing that can be guaranteed is that
lower expenses mean greater returns for you at
the end of the year. In this session, we will
teach you ways to lower your expenses...a few
of which only a few top professional traders
know and use.
-
The best way to manage your money when using
multiple methods. -- We will teach you how
to achieve superior performance by ensuring that
you have strict control over position sizes,
intraday risk, overnight risk, and sector
exposure. You will learn what to do when you see
signals from multiple methods, how to make
adjustments based upon correlated system
exposure, the intelligent use of stops, and
much, much more.
-
Are you driven to become a profitable and successful trader? It doesn't matter whether you want to trade part-time or venture into full-time trading... one of the most intelligent and essential steps you can take is to structure your trading as a business. We will show you exactly how to do this during these sessions.
|
| |
|
You
will also learn:
-
How the right business plan can help you
become a more profitable trader. -- Some
traders do not take the business of trading
seriously and just focus on trading. They fall
prey to the assumption that gross profits will
take care of everything. But Steve will show you
how this mentality can cut into your profits and
the specific and immediate steps you can take to
apply business principles to trading and
maximize your returns.
-
How to construct an integrated business plan
that is designed for traders. -- We will
give you a ready-made and easily customizable
business plan template and checklist that
enables you to control every cost and in some
cases eliminate the edge degradation that impacts
your profitability such as brokerage
commissions, bad fills, data feeds, office rent,
software, taxes and hardware. You'll also
learn how much money is needed in order to get
started and what you need to do to cover your
living expenses.
-
Setting specific target-driven goals. --Where
do you want to be in your trading one year from
now? Once your trading business is set up,
you'll be ready to take it to the next level and
position yourself for steady growth of your
trading business for years to come. And to
ensure that you are capable of accomplishing
this, we will work with you to set your specific
goals and plan out how our 14 sessions together
in this course can get you there.
-
Trading part-time vs. trading full-time.
-- The methods are structured so that they can
be traded successfully part- or full-time. In
this section, Steve will provide you with his
own insights on how he made the transition from
part- to full-time trader and money manager.

methods on your own, whether you decide to trade
them part-time or full-time. |

Questions And Answers About
The TradingMarkets Professional Swing Trading College
Q: Are the methods I'll be taught systematic?
A: Yes. The rules we teach you generate buy and sell signals automatically, without requiring you to analyze the markets or interpret patterns to find trading opportunities and enter them. The same is true after you've entered a position. No matter what may occur in the markets, you will enable you to exit your position automatically by applying the rules. Just check your signals and forget about it the rest of the day until it is time to check for new signals in the evening.
Q: How much trading knowledge do I need to be able to successfully trade the methods taught?
A: While the methodology is easy to learn, we do recommend that you have at least two years of trading under your belt in order to maximize the knowledge you will get out of this course. And if you are an advanced trader, remember that our methods do not approach the market according to any of the popular theories or assumptions. You may have to "unlearn" some of your beliefs about the markets. Fortunately, we have the statistics and academic research to help you through the unlearning process.
Q: What kinds of testing techniques were used to develop and verify the methods' performance?
A: Many of the testing techniques used to develop the methods you'll be taught are proprietary. They were developed and tested by The Connors Research Group.
Q: Will the methods continue to work in the future?
A: No one can guarantee that any method or strategy will continue to perform as it has in the past. We can say, however, that we have the confidence to trade these methods ourselves. Nor would we have any hesitation in teaching these methods to close family members.
Q: Can you give me an example of a performance summary of one of methods?
A: Yes. Here's one on the S&P 500 cash market for the past decade. Steve teaches you this method early in the program and shows you how it is applicable the SPYs and QQQQs. And he will also teach you how use in swing trading stocks and trading OEX options.

Q: Is it possible that the number of people using the method could impact your methods' performance?
A: We designed these methods to work on highly liquid and widely traded vehicles such as the big cap stocks, the SPYs, QQQQs, and the E-minis. Nevertheless, to ensure that performance is not diminished, we will closely monitor the ease of getting fills when there are multiple users of our methods entering and exiting simultaneously.
