With continuous market monitoring, SwingTrader helps investors turn short-term trends into fast money

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Investor’s Business Daily (IBD), a leading financial news and research organization, today announced the launch of the mobile app version of its highly popular SwingTrader product which helps investors at every experience level take advantage of swing trading. The app applies the rules of IBD’s proprietary CAN SLIM Investing System in a swing-trading environment to help people potentially profit from short-term trends. SwingTrader is fueled by both fundamental and technical analysis conducted by IBD experts to identify the best time to buy, sell, and hold. It is one of several new mobile offerings IBD will introduce in the coming months as part of a digital strategy designed around the needs of today’s investors.

“We pledged to provide our subscribers with diverse offerings that enhance all aspects of their investment lives, and the new SwingTrader app is a perfect example,” said IBD President, Jerry Ferrara. “Over the past year, markets have been highly volatile, making investors a bit skittish. SwingTrader was created to alleviate some of that stress and trepidation by providing investors with very easy tools to capitalize on whatever is happening in the markets at any given moment.”

Through the SwingTrader app, users have anytime access at their fingertips to insights from a team of experts monitoring the market throughout the trading day. Unlike other products based solely on algorithms that can produce false trading signals, senior members of IBD’s Markets Team analyze every potential trade for fundamental, technical and market factors based on years of experience in a way that machines cannot. The result is up-to-the-minute notifications based on a deep understanding of the interplay of multiple data points.

The most comprehensive app of its kind, SwingTrader features:

• Access to long and short trades
• Setup for every trade, including buy zone, profit goal, and stop loss
• Detailed charts with buy and sell points clearly marked on each chart
• Real-time push notifications and email alerts that link directly to trading ideas
• Live quotes
• Easy swipe functionality that helps users review stock ideas quickly
• Access to past trades, including trade details and chart notes
• IBD’s market analysis customized for a swing trading environment
• Easy-to-use position calculator

The SwingTrader app was developed for everyone from investing novices to savvy investors who want to engage with data on a deeper level but don’t have the time.

SwingTrader is free to download for Android and iOS . Subscribers get full access to the SwingTrader app as part of their existing subscription.
