My Swing Trading Strategy
I added another long position yesterday and will look to increase the value of my current positions before adding anything new to the portfolio. I don’t see myself adding any more than one new position today.
Indicators
- Volatility Index (VIX) – Traded higher 1.7% yesterday, but was due for a bounce of any kind. Still compressed and pointing lower.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): Looking to reverse the bearishness of last week, with a 3.5% rally yesterday. Still only a 64% reading and well below recent highs.
- Moving averages (SPX): Currently trading above all major moving averages.

Sectors to Watch Today
Energy with a huge day yesterday, emerging out of an inverse head and shoulders pattern, and the same can be said with the Financials too. Very good chance we see a test of all-time highs in Technology in the very near future.
My Market Sentiment
Volume and trading patterns of SPX right now shows a lot of similarities to what you typically see during the summer time. Low volume and not the greatest breadth. Nonetheless the market keeps pushing higher, and I’d suspect that it will reach new all-time highs in the near future.

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.
In today's episode, I explain whether it is a good idea or not to rapidly increase the size of your portfolio if you come across a sum of cash. A lot of traders will do this without ever recognizing the emotional toll it can have on you as a swing trader and the awful mistakes you can make in doing so.
