Van Tharp – Swing Trading Systems Video Home Study

Take your trading to the next level with the course Swing Trading Systems Video Home Study by Van Tharp Institute

• Are you interested in trading more regularly but lack the time necessary to sit in front of a monitor during market hours?
• Do you want a better rate of return than what a buy and hold strategy may offer in your retirement account?
• Are your trading strategies dependable in bull, sideways, and downturn markets?
• Are you seeking for a steady stream of reasonably uncorrelated trading chances almost every day?

If you responded yes to any or all of these questions, the Van Tharp Institute’s Swing Trading Systems Video Home Study may be just what you’re looking for.

Even if you have excellent techniques, if you disregard the fundamentals of a sound trading company, you are likely to trade like practically everyone else in the markets – desiring to be correct about your trades, acting out of fear or greed, and making several expensive errors. Without a grasp of your own psychology and a lack of information about self-transformation, trading amazing systems may be a very frustrating experience rather than a liberating one.

Dr. Ken Long explains five swing trading methods that he designed and traded in this Swing Trading Systems Video Home Study. While some of these methods are based on public research by analysts or traders, others are his own original innovations. These are not theoretically sound or well-tested conceptual techniques.

These systems follow particular principles that have been validated in actual trading. Along with Dr. Long’s extensive trading experience over multiple years, he has a wealth of anecdotal evidence from institutional and individual traders who attended his earlier swing seminars and are now actively trading these systems. These five swing methods create setup signals that serve as the foundation for a large portion of Dr. Long’s intraday trades today.

What You’ll Learn In Swing Trading Systems Video Home Study?

Dr. Long explains why the system works and how to execute it.

The systems do not require a suspension of your beliefs or mental acrobatics to follow the rules – you understand why the price is expected to move and how the rules try to capture that move.

They are rule-based with several simple rules for setups, entries, initial stops, and exits.

No advanced degrees or advanced programming skills required to execute the rules; they are straightforward.

They all have a positive expectancy.

Traded by the rules, you can expect the systems to make money on average over the long run in the appropriate market types.

All of the systems work in bull markets while some of them work in sideways and bear markets. (In addition, Dr. Long describes variations of two of the systems that work in bear markets as well.)

You will be able to use the systems in various kinds of markets.

The systems track records earned SQN scores in the range from 2.1 to over 5.

The system performance for all of the systems ranks from good to superb according to Dr. Tharp’s methodology.

They all have a winning trade percentage of 50% and greater.

Your losing streaks should be relatively shorter compared to traditional low winning percentage systems.

The systems’ signals are mostly un-correlated.

The entry signals you get from each system tend to be different rather than having the same candidates show up in multiple systems.

Dr. Long provides possible variations on various rules in order to help the system fit you.

These systems are robust, so they are somewhat flexible in their execution.  In many cases, you can adjust the rules, and they will still have a positive expectancy.

They can all be operated outside of market hours

You can do your trading “homework” in the evenings, in the mornings, and on weekends.  Operating all five systems can take minutes per day rather than hours per day.

Individual traders, hedge funds, and institutional managers trade forms of Dr. Long’s systems today

You can have the confidence the systems are capable of working well for a number of other traders beyond just Dr. Long himself.

The system documents contain a set of representative case study charts

You can study the price action on charts for actual, identified setups and/or completed trades.

About your instructor Dr. Ken Long

Dr. Ken Long has spent the previous thirty years as a skilled lecturer and exceptional communicator in many capacities. He was a career military officer whose most recent post was as an instructor at the United States Army’s Command and General Staff College. Dr. Long has continued to teach at the staff college after retiring. Dr. Long began his career as a conventional investor.

He did, however, become an early user of an active mutual fund switching technique over time and extensive personal investigation. He began attending Dr. Tharp’s courses around fifteen years ago and rapidly grasped the fundamentals of Tharp Think. Over a decade ago, he explained his mutual fund flipping approach here.

He has progressed since then from a long-term investor to a mechanical swing trader and lastly to a rule-based discretionary intraday trader. He continues to hold lengthier holdings and is acutely aware that what occurs in the market over longer time periods might affect his shorter-term trading and vice versa. He has presented the Swing Trading Systems workshop roughly twelve times over the previous decade and has consistently earned the greatest student reviews.
