14 Weeks to Trading Mastery: Larry Connors and the 2011 Spring Swing Trading College (IWM, EWZ)

Are you willing to do whatever it takes to be an even better trader in 2011 than you were in 2010?

Now in its 6th year, the TradingMarkets Swing Trading College has provided traders with quantified, data-based strategies for trading stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and options. And with the Spring semester right around the corner, new and returning students alike are marking their calendars for February 1st, when classes begin.

Perhaps more than anything else, the Swing Trading College, led by TradingMarkets founder and CEO Larry Connors, has been instrumental in helping traders make the transition from the “buy a stock here, sell a stock there” approach to short term trading to the sort of professional, portfolio-based trading methodology that money managers, hedge fund traders and market makers have relied on for decades to manage and grow their money over time in bull, bear and sideways markets.

And for the first time ever, both new and returning students to the TradingMarkets Swing Trading College will have full access to The Machine for the entire 14 weeks of the Spring Semester. The Machine is an institutional grade research and trading resource that allows traders to combine high probability trading strategies for stocks and ETFs into high performing portfolios with low drawdowns, high per trade win rates, and impressive historical outperformance relative to both the S&P 500 and gold based on our quantified backtests.

EWZ chart

Above: The ^EWZ^. Learn how and why mean reversion or “pullback” trading strategies can be an effective way for swing traders to take advantage of short-term, emotional extremes in the stock market as part of a broader, quantified strategy of managing and growing their money over the long term.

Importantly, access to The Machine (a $3,000 value) will help traders understand not just the power of data-driven trading, but also the strength of portfolio-based trading. By using a variety of quantified strategies – long and short – to trade a portfolio of stocks and exchange-traded funds instead of just trading one or two stocks or ETFs at a time, traders can stop worrying about whether the market is going up, going down or moving sideways and instead focus simply on the finding and trading the biggest, quantified edges in the marketplace every day – whether those edges are on the long side, the short side, in stocks or in ETFs.
