How To Use The Top Down Swing Trading St...

Ryan Mallory
About this episode

Step-step directions on how I use the Top Down Trading Strategy in my swing trading. This trading strategy guides my decisions and how I analyze stocks and choose which stocks to trade. In this strategy I connect the overall stock market direction with sector strength and industrial technical analysis to help find the stocks with the best reward and least amount of risk in my swing trading.
