My Swing Trading Approach
I remain 100% cash for a second straight day. I would like to add some long or short positions, but I need the market to lead the way. Right now it isn’t doing that.
Indicators
- VIX – It gave back its gains from the day prior, by declining 4.3%.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average): Flat day in the market resulted in a flat day for this indicator. Overall a bull flag pattern on its daily chart.
- Moving averages (SPX): Still holding the 50-day moving average but well below the 20-day and 50-day moving averages.

Industries to Watch Today
Energy bounced back a small amount yesterday, followed by Cyclical and Industrials. Real Estate, Communication Services, and Utilities lagged the market. 
My Market Sentiment
The market’s direction should become more clearer, once the FOMC Statement is out today at 2pm eastern. Until then, I expect the market to remain quiet.

Welcome to Swing Trading the Stock Market Podcast!
I want you to become a better trader, and you know what? You absolutely can!
Commit these three rules to memory and to your trading:
#1: Manage the RISK ALWAYS!
#2: Keep the Losses Small
#3: Do #1 & #2 and the profits will take care of themselves.
That’s right, successful swing-trading is about managing the risk, and with Swing Trading the Stock Market podcast, I encourage you to email me (ryan@shareplanner.com) your questions, and there’s a good chance I’ll make a future podcast out of your stock market related question.
Which trading platform in 2026 should you be using? In this podcast episode Ryan talks about all the major platforms out there from TC2000 to TradingView, to TrendSpider and the Bloomberg Terminal. What are the perks and benefits to each one, and Ryan will also go over his lower-tier platforms that you might want to consider as well.
