[edit] Copy-editing
This reads more like an ad, while not quite abasing the NPOV it should have attention called to it.
Much of this article appears to be taken from this page. I suppose it's possible that the author of the original text in this entry and the page linked to are the same person, but I suspect it's a copyright violation. Godshatter 06:19, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Too upbeat
There definitely needs to be ALOT more on market efficiency, mention of statistical analysis that no one has market timing, etc —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.124.161.144 (talk) 14:12, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

I strongly disagree. Momentum trading is an entirely different style. 71.245.176.139 21:00, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Rob
[edit] Whether the correct term is "swing" or momentum" trading...
... the description has too much opinion (e.g., The best candidates are large-cap stocks that are among the most actively traded stocks on the major exchanges, for example, Intel, Microsoft, and Cisco Systems) I personally have more success trading lesser known and smaller cap stocks. This may be due to the fact that, in this day and age of ETS (algorithmic and automated) trading, lesser traded stocks could be less "gamed". I know I just countered one opinion with another, but this doesn't negate my point.
The article also oversimplifies the topic by making no mention of the many technical analysis tools that are a basis for this type of trading. To clarify it should talk to the statistical momentum and trend indicator that enable swing trading, and contrast this to the fundamental analysis used to pick stocks that form the primary basis for longer term "Warren Buffet" style trading. 199.46.245.231 22:02, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Rob S
The correct term is swing trading however this article makes the erroneous assumption that swing trading can only be done in a trading range or sideways market. Swing Trading can work in both trending as well as trading range markets. The real essence of the approach is trading short-term, multiple day movements in a market.Browncom 04:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
