“I have been a long time subscriber to IBD, and have learned the "camslim" system, it has made me a lot of money over the years. The team at IBD are very knowledgable and want to share their knowledge. I highly recommend IBD!”

“I have been using Swing Trader since mid June 2020 and am making consistent money in my account with very little down draw during slow periods. I see negative reviews because of not getting perfect timing with the trades. I have found that perfect timing doesn't matter since sometimes you get a better fill by being late; it all averages out in the end. The important thing is staying consistent and trading as many equally sized trades in your account as possible. So far its a money machine. Phil”

“I have been using IBD for the last 10 years. I have found this extremely valuable. I spend at least 2 - 3 hours on the weekend reading key sections of eIBD. What I like about this is that "opinions do not matter", just listen to what the market is saying. IBD interprets market moves like no other publication. You need this to say in and you need this to figure out when to get out of the market.”

“I have been reading IBD since the early 90s. It was a bewildering investment world back then, and IBD made more sense than anyone else. The confluence of the best technical + the best fundamental stocks in one place made my decisions easy. The book explaining their methods (CANSLIM) is a good read. Like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it. You have to be disciplined and pay attention to whether the stock is ascending or descending in price, and that's your tailwind or headwind. Now I trade options on the top 50 almost exclusively. My success rate is in the 90% range. I read other sites and sources as well, but always vet my investments through IBD.”

“I've been using IBD proprietary data in my own way since the mid 90's and it has been extremely helpful to me in my financial success. My response to the afore mentioned criticism of the new IBD services is that we all have to hold ourselves accountable for our own results. Losses are the cost of learning the process of doing business in the markets. Don't blame. Just move on with your development. Study the IBD data. Experienced successful traders have learned very quickly there is no cookie cutter way to market success. Good luck!!”

“You'll never get the same return as their Swing Trader service due to delays in the alert vs their stated buy-in price. I place the trade literally within seconds of receiving the alert (browser, app, or email, whichever comes first). Yet I still lose 1-2% on average on the entry and sometimes even the exit. With their claimed average gain of ~4%, you're basically at a break even result (at best). When support was contacted they said "our developers have been made aware of this issue and are working on a fix. We do not have a estimated time frame for a fix" The whole exchange sounded fishy, which unfortunately has been confirmed by reading the reviews here and elsewhere. There is some type of game being played or other reason for delaying the alerts, and this issue is likely to never be fixed for the end user. Which is a shame, b/c if their entry prices are accurate this would be a great service”

Thank you for your response. Some SwingTrader users have expressed concern that a stock’s price is often well above the alert price when a new stock is added. That is often true. There is so much interest in the product that the price jumps almost instantly when a stock is added. It is not because there is a lag in the alerts. However, such spikes are usually temporary. You can take advantage of this fact in a few ways. First, consider using a limit order rather than a market order. Place your limit price within the suggested buy zone in the Trade Setup. If the stock pulls back after the initial frenzy subsides you will get filled at a much better price compared with a market order submitted soon after the alert. Some brokers offer a Time Weighted Average Price order, or TWAP. Select your limit price, number of shares, and desired time to fill the order. The broker will work the order until it is completely filled. Another strategy is to monitor an intraday chart such as the 5-minute. Look for a pullback into the buy zone or other area of support and then submit your order. For example, most stocks will retrace 25% - 50% of a strong move. If the stock jumped 2 points after the alert, you might place your order 1 point below the peak of the initially buying surge.

“Swing Trader does not so much more than point out the IBD stocks that are in the Buy Zone. You can get this info from IBD digital. I watched the ST intro for new subscribers with Chris & Mark which was a joke. They refuse to post buy stop prices in advance thinking the Market Maker will run up the stock. But there but points are almost the same as IBD’s Buy Zones. Other services post but prices in advance and this is not a problem. Alerts are too late. I expected more from a big company like IBD. The company has gone downhill and heavily emphasizes blasting ads at subscribers. IND should focus on service more than subscriptions. I will not be renewing mine.”

“I purchased their Swing trader by IBD. I believe their stock picks are pretty good however they are always late. I'm just finishing up my first week with IBD and I have received a good number alerts. However by the time I receive the alert the stock already took off. Example, "AYX is a buy at 143.87" but the alert was received 5 min after the stock broke out. by the time the alert came across the stock was over 145. As a swing trader that's leaving way to much money on the table. I'm starting to think they are placing their own trades at 143.87 and then send letters out to their subscribers to pump the stock and then sell for short gains. If they are truly looking at the market they could easily send out an alert that would say something like this. "Watch for a move above 143.00 and we are buyers at 143.87 after breaking a swing high". I will gladly update and revise my review if I see a change on this front. If they cant give more of a heads up I will be a short term buyer.”

“A few years ago I received the paper in the mail. I signed up two weeks ago, have yet to receive a paper and 3 customer service reps give me 3 different stories. Service has really gone down hill and the app is rather frustrating with bugs. MarketSmith May be the only useful product they sell anymore, but it’s too expensive.”

“I was not a subscriber prior to the COVID-19 market crash and as a result lost nearly 22% of my portfolio. After the crash I decided it was time to truly to understand the market so I purchased a subscription, studied, followed and participated in the market every day, and within 9 weeks my portfolio is nearly 9% above my premarket crash position. My real complaint is IBD nickel, dimes and up sells every product. I wish they introduced a tiered system, i.e., purchase leaderboard get IBD digital included in the price; purchase IBD Live get leaderboard and IBD digital included, etc. Their "founder member" price is astronomical, and frankly laughable.”
