Hi all,

New here and this is my first post. Got any advice for a newbie wanting to try swing trading? I have started reading books on it but would like to know what tools you find helpful and settings folks use for chart screening . Any other advice would be appriciated. The bulk of my investments are currently in long term stable(if that's even possible nowdays) assest. I opened an account here with 1K to be a bit more aggressive. Thanks

Look at the fundamentals of a stock and buy when they are at least 50% undervalued, combine that with a little bit of technical analysis and you'll do good.

a nice tool
