My Swing Trading Approach
I added one new additional trade to the portfolio yesterday while also raising the stops in my other positions. Still looking to be measured with any additional trades. I don’t want to be overexposed in this market.
Indicators
- Volatility Index (VIX) – VIX broke below the rising trend-line below August lows. Likely to test the upper 11’s, lower 12’s here.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): Minor lift yesterday, despite a flat market session. So far looks to be holding support across established off the May lows.
- Moving averages (SPX): Still holding the 5-day moving average but unable to break through the 10-day MA.

Sectors to Watch Today
Huge move yesterday for Staples. Still in a sideways range, though the last six days has been strong. Potential double bottom in Materials but I’m not touching it – far too problematic over the last course of 2018. Hard 2-day bounce in Energy, but still range bound and resistance looms overhead. 
My Market Sentiment
Bull flag breakout yesterday, and now ready to make a move back towards its all-time highs. However, there is a bearish wedge forming, that will need to break to the upside, sooner rather than later.

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.
Is it better to be lucky or skillful when it comes to being a good trader? I would argue you can have it both ways, but it requires that skill manages the luck, and at times when luck is simply against you too.
