Most of traders using swing or day trading forums are beginners
Traders who are using the forum the most are beginners and traders in early phases of their stock trading education. They post plenty of messages there. If you want to find really useful information , try to find several users who look like more experienced traders. Even full time home traders come to these day trading forums to check them from time to time.They are not posting so much but their posts are most useful for traders. Do research and try to find some of them, note their user names and follow their activity. Do not afraid to send them also private message if you want to ask them something specific. If your question is not dumb then they will be pleased to answer.
Use search function of stock trading forums
It is hard to read all info in any swing or day trading forum. So it is much more practical to think what you are looking for. And then use search function with your question defined or with specific keywords defined. It speeds up process of finding final answer to your needs a lot.
Be careful and do not believe everything
Most of swing and day trading forums are free forums. There is possible for anybody to register and start posting. So do not believe everything. Try to verify every piece of info, especially such which can lead to some payment from your side. It is necessary to understand that a lot of users are beginners with little real trading experience. And also to expect that some users are trying to promote their company or services.
Thoughts about paid or closed-group forums
It can be very good to use some good closed day trading forum or paid swing trading forum. Any closed group with selected and invited users could provide very useful insight and info to each of its users. Also good commercial swing or day trading forum could be very valuable in first years of trading for every trader. And they can be valuable also in later years just to see fresh ideas. Any good online stock trading forum - closed or paid - could provide detailed info about stock trading strategies, stock trading systems, individual stock trading picks and setup. It is also possible to ask very concrete questions and receive very concrete answers which could not be possible in free stock trading forums.
