My Swing Trading Approach
I added two new trades on Friday, and will look to add another 1-2 more today should the market show signs it wants to add to the gains. Never trust this market. Volatility swings are wild, and you should expect a change of direction at any moment.
Indicators
- Volatility Index (VIX) – Down 6 of the last 7 trading sessions and now looking a a potential move below 20. Currently sitting at 21.38.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): Finally a huge move for this indicator – I was wondering when we would see it. A rare triple-digit move of 108% to push it back to 20% overall. Still plenty of room to run, if this market wants it.
- Moving averages (SPX): Stopped just short of breaking the 20-day moving average, which will be in play today. Crossed back above the 5 and 10-day moving averages.

Sectors to Watch Today
Everything was solid on Friday, every sector showed a good deal of strength, with Technology and Materials leading the way with moves of over 4%. Energy also rebounded which was hugely important to this market’s health going forward. 
My Market Sentiment
Re-testing critical resistance overhead. Closed right on it following Friday’s huge rally. Needs to break above it today. Oversold conditions are starting to lift for this market and that’s a good thing as well, because it shows, buyers are finally starting to get interested in making a move in this market.

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.
The percentage amount for your stop-losses and where to put them at when trading the stock market can be very difficult to determine. In this podcast episode, Ryan talks about times when it works using tight stop-losses versus very wide stop-losses and the tricks that you can use to narrow the stop-loss even further.
