My Swing Trading Approach
Right now, I have a number of long setups in the portfolio, that I will look to manage the risk in, first and foremost. I’m not opposed to adding more positions to the portfolio, but for now, I am more interested in letting my current positions do their work.
Indicators
- Volatility Index (VIX) – Tested long-term support in the lower 12’s and holding so far.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): Going back to April, a very range-bound indicator. Currently sits at 58%.
- Moving averages (SPX): Continues to test and hold the 5-day moving average.

Sectors to Watch Today
Staples continues to climb higher, but remains well off its all-time highs. Industrials are showing life over the last two weeks, but remains range bound going back to February. Technology remains the hottest sector, while Telecom is creating a picturesque bull flag pattern.
My Market Sentiment
SPX continues to tease the bulls at resistance. Not a clean break, as price needs to close above the March highs of 2801.9 decisively. Until that happens, resistance is in full force.

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.
Passive investing can be a great source of funds for retirement and for building a nest egg. In this podcast episode, a husband and wife asks Ryan's thoughts on building a SPY position on just $2/day. While consistent building a nest egg, is great, the timing and strategy in doing so is just as important.
