Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): XLF (14.02), V (68.99), INTC (19.75)
Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): None
BIAS: 42% Long
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): Employment Situation (8:30am), Consumer Credit (3pm)
My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures slightly higher.
- Employment will weigh heavily on the market today. Futures likely to do little until then.
- Last employment report saw some pretty wild swings after the release, only to finish lower on the day.
- Price action looks poised to break through the critical 1130 level. Should be no problem with a good employment report.
- If we break through 1130, I think we’ll see a nasty short-squeeze as a result of a lot of stops being placed just above that price level.
- Impressed with the consolidation just above the 200-day moving average recently.
- Don’t be fooled by initial market reaction to the employment report – not always indicative of how the day will go.
- Dip buyers are buying up anything that sells.
- Employment might be the last great hope of the bears to push this market lower for the year. If the bulls push above 1130, I think the bears are done for the year.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- A few stocks on the radar like TICC, that I’d like to jump into on any pullback.
- Market is in overbought territory still – and heavily so since mid-July, so caution is warranted right now.
- Muted market reaction to the employment report will be cause for fading any gap at the open.
- Will scalp on a limited basis.

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.
