Expert trader and Author Stan Weinstein recommends additional rules when trading these patterns:

- Look to see if the Industry Group it is in has broken below it's 30 Week MA. You can use a stock screener to determine which Industry Group it is in.

Swing Trade Strategy
1. Confirm the strength of the trend.
2. Look for a price pullback c/w at least 3 consecutive up days with higher highs. Volume should be lower on the pullbacks.
3. The 5 Day RSI Indicator should be above 50. When the RSI forms a top and begins to turn down, you should look for a share price retracement to bounce off the 20 day simple moving average (SMA).
4. Look for key Candlestick reversal patterns at the bottom of the pullback such as the Harami, Engulfing pattern, Dark Cloud Cover or the Evening Star Doji.
6. Insure your position sizing and money management rules are in place.
7. Sell short and make the stock trade!
This is just one of many Swing Trading techniques.
