My Swing Trading Approach
By adding a long position yesterday to the portfolio, it balances out the short position that I am also carrying into the day from last week. I’ll look to aggressively add 1 to 2 new long positions in the early going.
Indicators
- Volatility Index (VIX) – A very dull session for the VIX as it remained just below 16 at 15.97. Inside day yesterday, but expect a drop today.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): A small rally that took the indicator back up to 81%. Holding strong despite some weakness over the past week.
- Moving averages (SPX): Wedged between the 5- and 10-day moving averages. Expect a break above and a possible challenge of the 200-day moving average today.

Sectors to Watch Today
Industrials broke back above the 200-day moving average and one of the strongest sectors out there, along with Technology, Utilities, and Staples. 
My Market Sentiment
The 200-day moving average is in play, as the market looks to be in rally mode in the early going. Whether it can break through the 200-day MA or not will go along ways in determining the sustainability of this current market rally.

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.
