Oxy was a great example of this.....I bought a breakout around 2/1/11, got shaken out hard during the pullback and didn't re-enter, missing a near parabolic move since then. Would be much better if I waited and pounced on the pullback. Greta post and very true.

Best bet would be to talk to your broker and make sure they do not have addtional fees etc. I use Fidelity and have never paid a borrowing fee when I short.

Therefore there is no interest to pay. What about "borrowing fee"? Don't you have to pay a "borrowing fee" to the stock lender?

If you get the margin account you can short with your own capital and you will not incur any interest payments. Interest only applies if you actually borrow funds to short.

I don't look at the hourly chart as I think there is not enough volume per candle to represent what is going on. By the way, I am interested in apply for margin, and hence allowing me to short stocks (e.g. FSLR at its second pullback). Can anyone tell me what the typical borrowing fee is for short selling? Thanks for the post Craig. I only look at the daily chart.

Yes, you can often see S and R on the daily, but the weekly helps me see what "stage" the market is in better. Utilizing Stan Weinstein's stage analysis approach, trading stocks in stage 2 generally give a higher probability trade. I also utilize the 10 week moving average as promoted by O'Neal for finding stocks that might be ready to move. So, in that respect, I think the weekly gives info. that is not available on the daily.

He is simply wonderful.. I never seen a blog/site yet which gives this much guidance.. But one thing, craig might consider.. why not craig puts series of swing trading strategies which we can collectively evaluate/comment and try. I was feeling more comfortable when craig puts his analysis on one strategy.. thats why i am pressing the above point. This man rocking….I cant describe how accurate he measures the things..
