Swing Trading Strategy:

Incredible day yesterday as I finally closed out my Virgin Galactic (SPCE) trade at 33.41 for a 77% profit. Really fun trade, followed the plan, and exited when it wouldn’t let me stay any longer. I added one new long position as well as a short position. 

Indicators

  • Volatility Index (VIX) – VIX popped 8.4% but price action did little to follow suit to the downside. Likely that it gets quickly hammered today, if the market rally continues. 
  • T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): Third straight day lower on T2108 as it continues to diverge from market price action, particularly from the Nasdaq.
  • Moving averages (SPX): Trading above all the major moving averages.
