ShareScope has collaborated with Marc Rivalland to add Swing Charts to its intraday and real-time packages. The ethos of Swing Trading is to look for short-term corrections to an underlying trend and to bet that the underlying trend will resume. It enables traders to profit from both bull and bear markets.

Marc Rivalland, the modern proponent of swing trading and charting columnist for the Investors Chronicle, uses a relaxed version of Gann’s original technique in order to maximise potential profits, minimise losses and increase the number of trading opportunities.

ShareScope’s sophisticated implementation can be run in one of three modes: Rivalland (default), Strict Gann and Relaxed Gann. Further relaxation options enable fine-tuning of each rule set and an Overrides facility gives users ultimate control. Additionally, ShareScope can automatically generate entry and exit signals for swing traders.

A comprehensive point & figure package (a swing trading essential) is already included in ShareScope allowing users to toggle easily between chart types looking for supportive signals. ShareScope offers a range of visual styles to highlight changes in trend including swing lines, Manhattan line, shaded vertical bands and coloured symbols. Buy/sell prices, triggers, stop loss levels and stop breaches may also be customised.

Swing trading is exclusive to ShareScope Plus and ShareScope Pro. For a full list of additional analytics in Plus and Pro click here.
