Get Swing Trade Alerts in Real Time by Text or Email
All our trade alerts have a backtested statistical edge.
Swing Trade Alerts Service
At Stock Market Guides, we offer a swing trade service where an alert is sent for each new pick we make. We use historical statistics to help you buy low and sell high in the stock market using swing trades.
Our service only features swing trading opportunities that have a quantitative backtested edge. We don’t shoot from the hip with trade ideas here. We rely exclusively on the data.
This ensures that if you get a swing trade alert, it’s because there is a trade opportunity that has a track record of success in backtests. We cater to both stocks and options here, so you can get alerts for whichever you prefer.
At Stock Market Guides, we give you access to plenty of data to help you decide which swing trading opportunities you want alerts for. We show things like the historical backtested win percentage and profitability for each featured trading strategy.
Swing Trading Alerts
Here’s an example of what one of our swing trade alerts looks like. Each alert indicates the full scope of the trade idea for those who want to follow it: the ticker symbol, when to buy it, and when to sell it.
(sample trade alert)
You can see that our swing trade alert reflects a specific trading strategy and time frame. It also shows how that strategy has performed historically according to backtests, both in terms of wins, losses, and return on investment.
We feel that if we’re going to try to offer the best swing trade alerts possible, they need to be easy to follow, have a track record of success, and be transparent.

Swing trading in the stock market involves risk, even when trade setups have a strong history of profitability. You can dial your risk down or up by adjusting your position sizing or the number of trades you take.
The more risk that’s taken, the higher the potential for drawdowns. You can also start out by paper trading stocks to get a feel for the trades before putting real money at risk.
Features of Our Swing Trading Service
Anyone who signs up for our Swing Trading Service gets access to all these features:
Pre-Market Stock Picks and Option Picks
These are picks we share before the stock market opens. They are typically sent at 5:30 a.m. Eastern Time, about four hours before the opening bell.
These stock and option picks cater well to people who are not able to manage swing trades during the workday. Subscribers can use the trade alerts to set up swing trades before the market opens.
Market Hours Stock Picks and Option Picks
These are picks we share throughout the trading day during normal stock market hours. You get real-time swing trade alerts as each new pick gets published.
These cater well to people who are available throughout the day to manage swing trades.
Guidance from Swing Trading Experts
We have swing trading experts who offer commentary on a regular basis regarding both our trade alerts and the general state of the market. Their commentary gets sent out to the group in an email newsletter.
These experts are readily available for any questions you might have along the way.

Stock and Options Watch List

Swing Trade Alerts That Are Easy to Follow
Trade alerts for our Pre-Market Swing Picks are sent by email before the market opens. Trade alerts for our Market Hours Swing Picks are sent in real time by either text or email, depending on your preference.
Our swing trade alerts show you a specific trade idea that indicates exactly when to buy and sell. You can be alerted when the trade ends, too.
Rather than spending a lot of time each day in front of a computer screen doing research on which swing trades to make, you can get these trade alerts and can spend just minutes per day making your trades.
We only send alerts for buying stocks or call options, not shorting them. Of all the research we’ve done, we’ve never found a long-term mechanical edge to shorting stocks or buying puts.
Alerts for Many Types of Swing Trades
At Stock Market Guides, we offer a wide variety of swing trading opportunities that you can consider. Here are some examples of different types of trades that you can get alerts for:
Trade Type
- You can get trade alerts for everything from pullback trades to earnings trades.
Share or Contract Cost
- You can filter trade alerts by the price of the stock or option.
The quantity of swing trade alerts we offer will fluctuate each day based on market conditions. Many days there will be several picks to choose from. Some days, there might be none.
The stocks and options we feature are typically for companies that have significant market capitalizations, which means they are normally for major, well-established companies.
If the alert is for an option swing trade, it will indicate a ticker, strike price, and expiration date so that you know the exact option to consider.
Swing Trade Duration
Some swing traders might like to hold their positions for just a few days, while others might like to hold them for a few months. Some are in between. Our service accommodates them all. You can choose to get alerts for any of these swing trade durations.

1 week

Learn Swing Trading
Swing trading is where you make trades that last more than one day but are not long term holds. It’s in between day trading and long-term investing. If you are swing trading, you might own a given stock or option for a matter of days or weeks, not years.
If you don’t know exactly how to buy and sell in the stock market, you can use our free stock guides or options guides to learn the basics.
Once you sign up for the service, you’ll also find tutorials that teach our swing trading strategies in detail so that you can learn to trade them on your own if you want.
Our goal is to make sure you will have the tools to be able to successfully follow our swing trade alerts no matter what your trading expertise level is. And if questions come up along the way, you can contact us any time and we’ll be ready to help.
