Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): None
Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): None
BIAS: 100% CASH
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): ISM Manufacturing Index (10am), Construction Spending (10am)
My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are up very strong – over 1%.
- European earnings pushing market higher – HSBC and BNP Paribas in particular.
- As Europe goes, so does the U.S Markets.
- Events in Europe, even those domestic to their own country have more weight than U.S. news apparently.
- Be weary of trying to fade this gap up – Could run 20 or 30 points if this early morning strength is legit.
- The Russell and Nasdaq are in strong confirmed bull rallies.
- Weekly and Daily charts on S&P show two different markets. Weekly charts show a market still heading down (no new higher-highs), while the daily shows a market on the rebound.
- S&P set to open at 200-day moving average on futures and index. Another challenge looms!
- Busy week with lots of reports – main one: Employment on Friday.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- May consider jumping into XLF above 14.95.
- Won’t fade the open unless things change considerably ahead of the bell.
- Look for scalping opportunities today – mainly pullbacks on the rally, likely with TNA or SSO.
- Could add one additional long position to the portfolio.
- Don’t want to be too heavy in this market as there is a lot of mixed signals, with what I believe is a slight bias to the upside.

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.
