My Swing Trading Strategy
New week, month and quarter. I’m 100% cash coming into the day and will look to get long with 1-2 new positions. Always the potential for an April fools market fade. Be aware.
Indicators
- Volatility Index (VIX) – a 5% decline on Friday, and has dropped four of the last five sessions. Looking, once again to test the March lows.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): Breadth, wasn’t all that impressive, and the T2108 showed it with only a 2% move higher and only 52% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average.
- Moving averages (SPX): Back above the 10-day moving average, and all major moving averages.

Sectors to Watch Today
Technology pulled it together on Friday, and looking to continue the trend of higher-lowers and higher-highs, with a possible test of the March highs. Double bottom in the short-term on Industrials that will confirm today. Staples continues to print new rally highs. Watch for a breakout of consolidation in Discretionary.

My Market Sentiment
The market was an absolute chop-fest for much of March. Today the market is looking to gap higher and pull away from support underneath. Always the potential for a market fade on these gap ups, but so far, considering the Friday’s push higher, today’s continuation looks promising.

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.
What do you do when the best trade setup that you can find is a stock that you already have a position in? Should you trade a stock that you already have a position in and exponentially increase the size of that position? In this podcast episode Ryan explains the circumstances that allows you to increase your position size in an already profitable trade and how to manage the risk in doing so.
