My Swing Trading Approach
This has been a cautious week for me, especially due to the lack of continuity among the sectors on a day-to-day basis and the holiday right in the middle of the trading week. Once we get past the employment report this morning, and direction becomes better known, I may look to add a long or short position to the portfolio.
Indicators
- VIX – a 7.3% reversal here, and at the bottom side of a 7-day range. Watch for a break down here.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): Adding 10% on the current bounce and up four straight days. Broke through resistance at 56% and now at 57%.
- Moving averages (SPX): The 5, 10 and 50-day moving average have converged together, which price broke well above, and sets up to test the 20-day moving average now.

Sectors to Watch Today
Technology back to leading the market – a really frustrating sector to trade over the last eight trading sessions, as it keeps rotating between being the market leader and laggard on a near daily basis. The same can be said about Financials and Energy. Staples starting to break out here following yesterday’s move. Real Estate continues to be the market’s strongest sector of late. Healthcare looking to take out June’s highs here.
My Market Sentiment
Yesterday was a vast improvement for the market, but depending on the outcome of the employment number this morning and the start of the trade war, will largely influence price action and determine whether price can ultimately break through short-term resistance shown below and on to the test of the March highs.

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.
When should you increase your position size for swing trading in the stock market? Does the percentage that we dedicate to each of our swing trades change over the years or is it etched in stone? In this podcast episode, Ryan goes over his reason for increasing his position size in trading and what can lead a person to doing that for themselves.
