Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): XLF (14.02), V (68.99), ENZN (10.15), QQQQ (44.79), CSR (5.24), TICC (8.42)
Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): SPY (Hedge)
BIAS: 3% Long
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): Jobless Claims (8:30am), Import and Export Prices (8:30am), EIA Natural Gas Report (10:30am)
My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures slightly negative
- Since the early evening sell-off yesterday, futures have been working its way back to positive territory.
- Jobless Claims out at 8:30am will add additional volatility to the markets.
- Breaking thru 1130 mark no longer in focus. Now it is whether the bulls can hold 1080 on the S&P. Level has already been breached in futures trading.
- Small gap to fade currently. Jobs # could change that.
- Bulls could really show some muscle today if they pulled off a big rally in response to yesterday’s sell-off.
- July trend-line is broken, but no new lower-low created. However, we move one point lower, and that will be broken as well today.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- Stop-Losses remain as it.
- TICC added to the portfolio yesterday.
- Hedged my portfolio yesterday with a large short position in SPY. Also added TICC (1/3 of a position) to the portfolio.
- Look to potentially fade morning gap.
- Will look to get rid of my hedge in SPY early on if the market acts like it could bounce.
- Hesitant to add more long positions at this point. If I do, I will likely let today play out first.
- Scalp where the opportunity exists.

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.
When should you increase your position size for swing trading in the stock market? Does the percentage that we dedicate to each of our swing trades change over the years or is it etched in stone? In this podcast episode, Ryan goes over his reason for increasing his position size in trading and what can lead a person to doing that for themselves.
