Swing and Day Trading by Jeremy Walters is a complete beginner-to-intermediate guide designed to help readers understand and apply two of the most popular active trading styles. Walters breaks down the mechanics of swing trading and day trading into simple, actionable steps, showing how ordinary traders can leverage these methods to build consistent profits and even create streams of passive income.
The book begins with the foundations of swing trading—what it is, how it works, and how it differs from other approaches like scalping and long-term investing. Walters emphasizes the role of price action as the central tool for market decision-making and introduces readers to practical strategies for identifying setups, executing trades, and managing positions.
Beyond strategies, the book explores the psychological side of trading—why so many traders lose money, the common pitfalls that derail beginners, and how to develop the discipline and emotional balance required for long-term success. It also covers cash and risk management techniques, candlestick analysis, chart patterns, and essential trading indicators such as Ichimoku, ADX, and Williams Alligator.
For those leaning toward day trading, Walters provides a clear roadmap: understanding instruments like stocks, futures, options, and forex, choosing the right software and brokers, and setting up platforms to trade efficiently. By combining technical insight with practical tips, Swing and Day Trading equips readers to handle the realities of financial markets while avoiding costly mistakes.
