Ok, Now On To The 3 Rules...
"The 3 Rules of Successful Swing Trading!"
We've detailed all three Rules right here for you.
Click on rule # you would like to review below.
Rule #3: Use Quality Entries & Exits (TIMING)
We call this principle “The rule of being in the right place at the right time - timing is everything.”
This rule covers the area of trading that most traders spend all their efforts on – entries and exits. An entry or an exit is a set of criteria that when met, constitute your reason
to buy or sell a stock.
Despite the huge focus on this area by traders, huge mistakes are made.
This document is not the place for me to attempt to give you specific entry and exit criteria because it’s more important that I give you the foundation for creating good quality entry
and exits, and specific entry and exit rules are covered in the Position Swing Trading Intensive.
Your Holy Grail Indicator
If you are going to develop a good trading system, the first step is to STOP LOOKING for “the perfect entry indicator.” It does not exist. Even good stocks fail, and you don’t need
a perfect indicator to be a successful trader. You need a simple, repeatable, systematic approach to trading the market.
What is a “Good Quality” Entry or Exit?
Most traders look at chart after chart searching for the indicator that, hypothetically, got them in right before a stock started to move and out at the maximum profit potential. If
this sounds familiar, refer to the “Your Holy Grail Indicator” section above – I’m talking to you!
Don’t focus on perfecting individual trades. Focus on building entry and exits that delivers consistent results over a large number of trades – this is your system.
Good quality entry and exits take into consideration the this bigger goal – the system. Here are some guidelines to follow when you define your entries and exits
Characteristics of Good Entries and Exits:
- Easy to identify and execute: Your entry criteria should be as simple as possible. If your entry and exit rules are too difficult to identify or act upon,
then you won’t use them consistently, and that makes your entry and exit rules ineffective.
- Easy to repeat consistently: Success in trading comes when you have an approach, or system that you can execute with consistency. If your criteria are subject
to a lot of interpretation you will not be able to identify the same market condition that constitutes a consistent entry. This reinforces the importance of simplicity.
- Complementary with the trading personality of your market: The trading personality of your market is the way in which a stock trades. The best way for me
to illustrate this point is with this example. If a stock generally experiences a daily trading range of $10 and has a typical bid-ask spread of $.50 to $.75 (i.e. GOOG when it was
hot) your entry and exit rules must take that volatility and large spread into account. This not a trading personality that is contusive to a stop loss criteria of 0.25 below your
entry price. Instead you should have a stop-loss criteria that enable the stock to trade with its normal level of volatility immediately after your entry without getting stopped out.
- Complementary with the premise of your trade:
When you enter a trade you should have a plan. You should also have an expectation of what the trade could do if it works, and what it might do if it doesn’t work. Good exit criteria
will enable you to stay in the trade until the conditions of the trade “not working” are met.
For example, assume that the premise of my trade is that a stock has retraced to a moving average in an uptrend, and I want to buy the bounce off the moving average and catch the resumption
of the uptrend. Also assume that if the stock closes below the moving average the stock has then not bounces, the premise of my trade has failed and I should exit. Now, given this
a the premise of my trade, if I enter the stock and then set my stop at a point that is above the moving average I have just created an exit rule that will stop me out of a trade even
when the premise of the trade is still in tact!
The same concept also applies to entries. The point at which you enter should be consistent with your definition of when your trade’s conditions are in place. This may sound obvious
but how many times have you entered a trade before your rules say you should because you thought you’d just get in a little earlier!
Common Mistakes Made In Creating Entries and Exits:
- Not enough emphasis on exits: The most common mistake traders make is to be too focused on entries while ignoring exits. Successful traders know that
exits are the most important half of your trading decisions! Exits lock in profits and minimize losses - don't ignore them.
- Entries don’t = exits: Don’t assume that the same indicator or criteria that you are using for your entries should be used to define your exits. In fact,
it is likely that your best rules for exits will be different than those used for entries.
- More is not better:
Using multiple conditions to define an entry or exit is generally a good idea, but every time you add criteria you are not necessarily improving your system. You may even be making
it a lot worse. You are undoubtedly making it less simple – remember the first rule of good quality entry and exits above! Do not add criteria to your system lightly!
These Principles Will Result in Good Timing
If you follow these guidelines when you define your entry and exit criteria you will be forced to create a trading system that is in sync with the market conditions that you like to
trade. When you are in sync with the market good timing just happens.
Furthermore, when a good system is not in sync with the market (and this will happen), you will know quickly and be able to avoid taking big losses wait for the right conditions for
your system which is when your get your big profits.

Rule #2 – Catch Multi-Dimensional MOMENTUM
We call this principle “The Rule that hits home runs.”
Following Rule #2 puts you in position to catch the market’s biggest moves.
By multi-dimensional momentum I mean finding stocks, indexes, or ETF’s that have more than just daily price & volume momentum. In some cases this may mean intra-day or weekly price
momentum. In the most powerful scenarios it means earnings, sales, news, market, industry group, and geo-political momentum!
Why trade just any good-looking chart when you can just as easily trade a trend that has more than just the chart as the “reason” for its move to continue? The big money is made -
home runs are hit, when you catch the trends that are driven by momentum other than just price.
Once you experience the benefits of trading with multi-dimensional momentum, you will (and should) eagerly expand your trading research to include ways to identify momentum in the
obvious sources such as earnings, sales, news, industry groups, geo-political conditions, economies, and more.
It Takes Skill, Homework, and a Little Luck to Hit Home Runs . . .
Right now you should be asking yourself, “How do I find stocks, indexes and or/ETFs with multi-dimensional momentum?” First you need to know what to look for. This will come from experience
and/or education.
Just like the technical analysis of charts, analyzing the data that measures other areas of momentum is an art as well as science, and requires homework and research. Here are a few
concepts that are effective short cuts for getting started in honing your multi-dimensional momentum analysis skills.
- If you are trading stocks, one basic, time-proven, method is to look for companies with strong earnings
and sales trends. It is important to look at past performance as well as expectations for the future.
- The price action, earnings, and sales trends of a stock’s industry groupand peers can provide you with evidence that your stock is in a business that has underlying fundamental
strength.
- Inter-market analysis
. If you learn which industry groups and indices are highly correlated, you will be able to see cause and affect relationships in the markets. Knowing these relationships enable you
to identify when your trade is part of larger and more significant trends than just that of the individual stocks price movement!
How To Make Your Own Luck
Expect that the markets will be full of surprises – good and bad.
But also know that “surprises” trend! This means that stocks and markets tend to experience cycles of good news and cycles of bad news. Good tends to lead to more good news leads and
vice versa with bad news.
Furthermore the interpretation of news trends in the same way. When the sentiment of a stock is very bullish, almost any news story gets interpreted as bullish, and the price trend
continues up.
Good traders find trading opportunities where there is momentum in these multi-dimensional areas because it puts them in a position to “get lucky” – to be in a stock that before the
good news hits! You can do this too.
An Example of a Multi-Dimensional Trend You’ve Experienced
I’ll bet you know what multi-dimensional momentum feels like. Remember back to the 2008 rise in crude oil. You experienced multi-dimensional momentem
every day during that persiod as you associated the news with the rising price of gas
at the pump. Any news suggesting higher demand for oil or political unrest in the Middle East would push crude higher.
Yet, any news suggesting consumers would buy less gas, or demand less crude, did little to slow the bullish trend.
So what does a multi-dimensional trend look like? The bullish phase in the crude oil ETF (“USO”) shown below is an example of a market driven by bullish news, geo-political conditions,
and price momentum – strong with short orderly corrections which quickly end in a resumption of the primary up-trend.
|
Chart of Crude Oil (as represented by the “USO” ETF)

Don’t forget that this huge opportunity occurred as the US stock indexes were in bearish or recovery phases!
We Will Do Your Homework for You! (How painless is that?)
There are always companies doing well – growing with strong in earnings and sales even in turbulent conditions. Unfortunately, in bear markets (like the one we’re currently experiencing),
even good companies may not be good stocks. For this reason, the market phase calculation explained in Rule #1 is critical in for keeping you on the right side of the market, and out
of harm’s way.
However, when the bear market rests, or even starts to “recover,” stocks with multi-dimensional momentum provide very nice trading opportunities. When the market enters an “accumulation”
--or better yet - a “bullish” phase, these stocks can go parabolic! That means up HUGE, quickly.
The Nuggets List by MarketGauge is a list of stocks with strong earnings and sales with the multi-dimensional momentum that leads to big rallies.
Here is just a short list of some of the nice long side opportunities from the Nuggets List that demonstrates the power of multi-dimensional momentum
even during the very difficult 2008 bear market conditions:

Rule #1 – Trade the Current Market Phase
This rule keeps the wind at your back. Stocks and markets obviously don’t go straight up or straight down continuously. They cycle up and down in what we call “Market Phases.”
The most obvious application of this concept is that traders want to be long during the up phases and short during the down phases. When a strong up or down phase can be reliably identified
you have a real edge in the market. It’s not that easy, however. There are more that just 2 phases (up & down).
Rule #1 is to trade in the direction of the market phase. This gives you an edge. As you become a more sophisticated trader, you will develop specific trading strategies that
do best in specific market phases.
In developing my own trading strategies, I’ve done a lot of research and back testing to figure out a simple and effective method of knowing whether the market is in an up phase, down
phase, or a transitional phase.
Start Simple - Assume There are Only 2 Market Phases
Below is a daily chart of the S&P 500 (as represented by the “SPY” ETF). I have colored the daily bars so that the days of the Bullish Market Phase are green and Bearish Market Phase
days are red. White daily bars are transitional market conditions where your market bias would be neutral. I’ll explain transitions later.

|
The Obvious Benefit of Knowing and Using Phases…
That Too Many Traders Ignore!
Trading from the long side is MUCH EASIER when the market is in a bullish phase! Shorting is easier when the market is in a bearish phase. Doing the opposite (i.e. going long in a
bearish phase) is extremely risky, but many traders make this costly mistake constantly!
Successful traders know what the current market phase is, and they use a strategy that takes advantage of the characteristics of that market phase.
You do not need a strategy for every phase. Instead you need a market in the phase you good at trading. If you only like to go long, there are now plenty of opportunities to find market
trends that are bullish. Some of these opportunities are ETF’s that go up because the market is going down.
If you don’t have a simple, systematic method to determine the current market phase, stop trading until you get one. This applies to market indexes, ETF’s, and stocks.

How Many Market Phases Are There? Two, Four, Six?
I’ve already shown how you can make your life easier by focusing on just two market phases, and only trading when the phase is clear and one that you like to trade.
I’ve also said that there are more than 2 market phases. It is common to think of the markets as having 4 market phases: accumulation (bottoming), bullish, distribution (topping),
and bearish.
Our Position Swing Trading model identifies 6 different market phases as illustrated below:

The Most Powerful Time to Catch a Market Phase
I look at market activity as having six different market phases because one of the most powerful times to focus on a stock, index or ETF is when it is experiencing a phase change!
I don’t try to pick absolute tops and bottoms, but I do know when the market phase is shifting. This is when trends begin and/or accelerate!
To see the power of seeing the market with 6 phases, look at the chart below. This is the same daily chart of the S&P 500 (as represented by the “SPY” ETF) that I showed above, but
this time the days that were previously white and “transitional” are now further defined as warning (yellow), distribution (magenta), recovery (light blue), accumulation (dark blue).
|
Daily Chart of the S&P 500 (as represented by the “SPY” ETF) with 6 Phases:
|
|
Look At How Powerful It Is to Know The Market Phase Is Changing
|
Look at how turning to green (“bullish”) means the bulls are in control, and the bears take over when its red, and how clearly you can see transitions coming.
|
|
Notice how the yellow (“warning”) days gave you a heads up of volatile down magenta (“distribution”) days to come.
|
|
Look at how much lead time you had to be forewarned of trouble before the brutal red (“bearish”) days set in.
|
|
Notice the result of a light blue (“recovery”) phase turned red (“bearish”). Here’s one nuance of phases - the fact that the recovery phase of April and May 08 never progressed into
an accumulation phase made its deterioration into a bearish phase an extremely dangerous bearish phase.
|
These colored bars representing the phases are not subjectively drawn. They are based on simple
rules and formulas that the Position Swing Trading Intensive gives you. You don’t need special software to know the market phase.
These market phases are not limited to market indexes – they hold true for stocks and ETFs too.

As you read through these few unsolicited comments by our former students please note that we've taken 3 of these from our public message board!
We've included Moti's email not because of the disucssion of dollar figures, but rather his focus on risk and reward and its relation to ATR NOT $$. ARE YOU READY to have your
trading raised to this level?!

"Gentlemen,
Yesterday I celebrated the end of my first month of live position trading the nuggets, and wanted to share with you my remarkable results. I made 25 trades during the month, about
half of them are still open, fully or partially. I decided to start by risking $600 a trade, and I buy the number of shares accordingly, based on the identified support. As of yesterday's
close, the end of the first trading month, my account was up over 50 times my risk, which was two times my risk per trade on average. Out of that, I closed over $18,000 of profit for
the month, and had over $12,000 in open profit. After today's afternoon selloff, I had another $7,000 in closed profit and around $2,500 profit left open. These results are certainly
above my expectations, and I thank you both very much for the nuggets list and for the course!
During this month I was not shy to ask Keith several clarification questions, and he was very good and prompt at responding. Rest assured that I'm not done with my questions, Keith,
and your assistance is very valuable. HANS - entered $48.48, scaled out already. Above 6 ATRs profit. Would you use a Chandelier exit? I put an alert below $62.
I finally closed RIMM on a Chandelier exit today, great trade.
Thank you!

"The Nuggets List is a terrific resource - a small pool of stocks that meet very specific and very stringent criteria to become a "Nugget." And
as much as I've found them to be invaluable to me, as a position, mini-swing, and day-trader, I have found the training form Geoff, Keith, and Scott to be even more valuable.
A list of good, tradable stocks is a fine thing, to be sure. But a "system" from which a trader operates is a better thing. It's akin to giving a hungry man a fish. You feed him for
the day. TEACH him to fish, and he eats for the rest of his life.
The D.A.T.E., Mini-Swing, and Nuggets/Position Trading Courses are extraordinary values; and I would be selling you (and them) short if I did not urge you (with gusto) to take them
all. To repeat myself: The Nuggets List is a fine resource (a big fat, juicy fish!) But if you want to learn how to catch fish....any fish you wish....take the training from MarketGauge.....as
soon as you can. And if you didn't know it already, they are offering the DATE course in October.
Take care. Good fishing.

"From my perspective, it was important to have taken the Nuggets Class because I understand the conditions that make up the selection of these
stocks. I am able to look at other stocks and see how they stack up. Each class offers a refinement and enrichment of a previous class.
In another current service being offered, no one had or has any idea how the picks are or were selected. I sort the nuggets by % gain criteria which update every thirty seconds. The
nuggets can also be placed into HOT SCANS scan.
Keith Schneider is a MASTER trainer. Don't miss the opportunity to get this fabulous training. I am an exceedingly pleased NUGGETS subscriber.

"I whole heartily recommend the teaching/classes that Geoff and Scott are offering. I took the DATE, MiniSwings, and Position/Nuggets classes.
Each one was exceptional and I learned tremendous amount.
They taught very specific rules. They whole thing was very organized. The classes are recorded so that you can listen or watch again and again.
I was also a WizeTrader – that did not work for me. Spent some money on some other seminars along with travel expense. The person did not teach well nor did he follow-up or provide
support as he said they would in the class. There was several promises made for additional services – that person did not follow-thru on most of it. It was a very bad experience.
Having said that - I endorse Geoff and Scott. Two people with the highest integrity and care for their students. They exceed the expectations they have created. They do what they say
they are going to do.
