The RSI Swing Trader
A Complete System for Timing Stock Trades with Relative Strength — Confirmed by Trend, Volume, and Risk
Most traders don't lose to bad stocks. They lose to good rules used in the wrong kind of market.
Stop trading the rulebook for the wrong market. Start reading the one in front of you.
A strong stock breaks out and RSI climbs into the seventies. The textbook says sell, so you sell, and the stock runs another forty percent without you. Or a falling stock turns oversold, the textbook says buy, and you catch a falling knife. You didn't make a mistake. You followed rules written for a sideways market while the market was trending, and in a real trend the standard thresholds work against you.
This book puts the missing context back. It is a complete system for trading stocks with RSI, from finding the right names, to timing the entry, to protecting the position. Every signal is read against the trend around it, starting with the weekly chart and working down to the daily.
The methods are shown on real market data, not just described, and then put to work in six fully worked trades, winners and losers both, followed from entry to exit. A quick-reference guide, the exact formulas, a glossary, and a backtest appendix make it a book to keep beside your charts.
Inside the book
- Reading the weekly trend first and taking daily signals only in the direction it allows
- Resetting overbought and oversold levels to the stock you're in (Cardwell ranges) so you ride strong trends instead of selling into them
- Telling a real reversal from a trap with ADX, volume, and divergence read correctly
- Ranking the market by relative strength to find the genuine leaders before a signal fires
- Timing entries by lining up the weekly and daily charts
- Sizing every trade against a volatility stop, so a wrong read stays cheap
34 full-color charts on a larger 7 by 10 inch page, six fully worked trades, and a backtest appendix. The paperback is printed in full color.
