My Swing Trading Approach
I added one new position, while subtracting another, Bank of America (BAC), for a 4.2% profit. I will look to add one additional position before the end of the day today, should the market hold up.
Indicators
- VIX – VIX breaking down with its lowest closing since March 21st. Down 8,7% yesterday, and breaking down through recent price consolidation.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average): Indicator was flat following the end of day selling in the market that took it from being well in the green, down into the negative.
- Moving averages (SPX): The 20-day moving average was broken yesterday, which was huge for the market bulls. Now the 50-day looms large, and any solid rally should see a test of that MA.

Industries to Watch Today
Technology and Financials led the market higher yesterday, while Industrials and Healthcare did quite well too. Utilities saw a significant amount of selling yesterday, and is on the verge of breaking down and ruining the bullish basing pattern it had been working on.
My Market Sentiment
The 20-day moving average was broken yesterday, which was a big deal, as that moving average had previously served as significant resistance. The looming Syria attack is looming large on the market, and while the market is showing a strong amount of bullishness right now, the headline risk could easily change that.

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.
In this podcast episode, Ryan talks about how he uses profit multiples for taking profits on his swing-trades, and how not everyone of your trades that are winners will be 2:1 or 3:1 multiples of the amount that you risked on the trade.
