Long Game Trading — Respect Yourself. Respect Your Money.

Finding promising swing trading opportunities shouldn't mean spending hours searching through thousands of stock charts.

In this episode of Long Game Trading, host William Truitt explores four popular stock screening tools: Finviz, TradingView, Yahoo Finance, and Interactive Brokers.

Which free tools are actually worth using? What are their limitations? And can you build an effective swing trading watchlist without paying for expensive software subscriptions?

We'll explore practical ways to filter stocks by price, trading volume, market capitalization, moving averages, and recent performance. You'll also learn why a stock screener is only a starting point, not a shortcut to profitable trading.

Whether you're just getting started with swing trading or looking to simplify your existing research routine, this episode focuses on finding useful tools, avoiding unnecessary expenses, and spending less time in front of your trading screens.

Because the goal isn't to collect more trading software. It's to make better-informed decisions while keeping control of your time.

What if you could participate in the stock market without spending every waking hour watching charts?

In Episode 2 of Long Game Trading, host William Truitt explores swing trading—the middle ground between fast-paced day trading and long-term investing—and asks whether it offers a more practical way to trade without sacrificing your freedom.

Discover how swing traders identify potential opportunities using market trends, support and resistance, moving averages, trading volume, and stock screeners. We'll also examine the risks that deserve serious attention, including overnight price gaps, failed breakouts, position sizing, and the psychological challenges of managing real money.

You'll learn how a structured trading routine can help you research opportunities, establish entry and exit plans, manage risk, and evaluate your results without becoming a slave to the opening bell.

But this episode goes beyond charts and trading strategies. It asks a bigger question:

If you're trading to achieve financial freedom, what happens when trading starts consuming the very freedom you're pursuing?

Swing trading may offer greater flexibility, but successful trading isn't simply about making money. It's also about protecting your capital, managing your time, and maintaining a healthy perspective on what really matters.

No hype. No promises of easy money. Just a thoughtful exploration of trading, discipline, risk, and the value of your freedom.
