My Swing Trading Strategy
Right now, I am open to adding another long position if the market can rally off the pre-market lows, which has been the norm of late. However, the potential for a pullback of some kind is greatly increasing and I don’t want boatload of new positions when that happens. Keep raising those stops!
Indicators
- Volatility Index (VIX) – Small pop early on, but ultimately gave up most of its gains. This indicator remains contained and unable to sustain any meaningful rally.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): Breadth was poor yesterday, despite the market trading slightly higher, with the indicator dropping 2% but down to 66%.
- Moving averages (SPX): Trading above all the major moving averages.

Sectors to Watch Today
Energy and Materials continue to be the go to sectors for this market. Technology has been consistent but the gains not nearly the same. Financials have been strong as well, but not worth playing ahead of their earnings that start this week. Industrials have held up well despite the weakness coming from Boeing (BA).

My Market Sentiment
SPX up eight straight days – at some point, it seems likely we are going to see a pullback of some kind, or at least some sideways consolidation. Any pullback is okay, as long as price doesn’t violate the two support levels shown in the chart below.

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.
