My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are down slightly, once again.
- Upside momentum seems to come and go in spurts.
- Bulls are on the leg of the rally that will likely test the 1130 zone on the S&P, which can happen any day now.
- S&P tried to push below 200 yesterday. Bears failed which is a positive for the market.
- My best guess right now (and it isn’t always worth that much), that we rally into mid-terms and eventually challenge the April highs. Seems crazy to even think that is possible at this point.
- Morning gap is looks very fade-able at the moment.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- Start focusing more on swing trades and less on scalping.
- Past couple of weeks yielded little from scalping, and my main forte is swing-trading and I want to spend a lot of time searching out new setups.
- Will continue to fade the open where the opportunity exists.
- May add another 2 or so positions to the portfolio. Enough to make me 40% long.

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.
