Swing stock trading means buying and selling stocks many times when the stock prices are at or near their bottom or top position. Some details and more information can be found at [1],[2].
The simple and well known rule – buy low and sell high can be applied here too. But how do we detect when it is low and when it is high?
Historical data and computer simulation can be the answer. We can pick the strategy and then evaluate it using past data. By changing some parameters and running simulation on the past data we can also improve the strategy.
For example the simple rule – buy when one day stock price decrease is more than some number (delta) and sell when the increase is more than delta can be run on previous stock data with the different delta.
