TradeSelector Trading Method
TradeSelector is a stock picks service for short term trading known as Swing Trading.
We enter trades using Technical Analysis: daily price movements, short and long term trends and areas of technical support and resistance.
We use patterns we know have the best odds of being profitable, then create a trading plan with entry, stop and the most likely target price.
We compare the risk to the potential reward and determine if the risk is justified before we enter the trade.
Our low risk balanced method doesn't promise to make huge net portfolio gains (don't believe those that do) but makes a steady consistent gain (see our full Trading Performance ) Look at How We Trade for more infornation, or visit our Sign Up Page for other details.

This past week the markets continued higher, however on Friday they had a strong distribution day. We have been expecting a correction to begin sometime soon as all three indices are very over bought. As we all know one day does not make a trend so there is no way of knowing if the correction has started or if Friday was just a down day and the uptrend is going to continue.
There is support nearby on all indices at the uptrend line from the February lows. We really won't know if a correction is under way for a couple of days when that trend line is tested. The markets can move sideways to slightly down for a couple of days then bounce off that trend line. If they continue down on Monday and break below support and the trend line it will be safe to assume that a correction has begun. This move up was fast offering very little area for support on the way down. A test of the 1112 area on SPX is definitely a possibility and if that is broken the markets could easily test the February lows.
We will be starting the week out in cash. We will post a couple of long selections for those that feel like they have to be in the market but for our money cash is the best place to be until we see what direction this market is going to take.
