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 we saw the stock markets make new highs, the U.S. Dollar test previous highs and fail and gold break up and out of it's channel. To say the markets are now over bought would be an under statement but they are, and they continue to be bought, so until the trend changes stick with the trend.
We saw the dollar move up as expected from the start of the week but on Thursday it reversed and gave back all of it's gains, giving the stock market and gold another shot in the arm to help them move higher. We should see the dollar move down to test 80.40 this week, we will need to see how it handles that area before we know if it is going to bounce or if it is going to move back down possibly giving back 50% of the gains from the past 3-4 months. It is hard to believe but if it does not bounce quickly from this move down the stock market could continue much higher creating another bubble.
We will continue to trade on the long side keeping our stops tight. Yes tight stops get us out of trades early but they will save us when the day comes that the market does not recover.
