Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): None
BIAS: 73% Long
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): Retail Sales (8:30am), Empire State Manufacturing Survey (8:30am), Business Inventories (10am)
My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are slightly up.
- Asian markets were mixed, European markets are rallying off their lows, but still remain mixed in their returns.
- S&P broke and closed below the 10-day average. Throughout the duration of the current trend, when this has happened, there has been a strong rally the following market session.
- The current trend-line flattened out a little more – something that has consistently taken place throughout this rally. But no lower-low has been established.
- S&P found support at the 20-day moving average. Which it has not closed below since 9/1.
- On the weekly charts, the S&P held support at the 200-week moving average. A break below this moving average could signal a major move downwards.
- We’ll have POMO every day this week. The full schedule can be found here.
- One big question surrounding Wall Street is whether QE2 will represent a “sell-the-news” type of event.
- The volume from the previous two market sessions has been nothing spectacular – very average.
- Main goal for the bulls is to hold the 20-day moving average; best case scenario is close above the previous day’s highs at 1210, or reclaim the 10-day moving average.
- Throughout this year, the bears have been burned numerous times by not taking profits after significant market sell-offs. Could lead to them being all-to-willing to do so today.
- Bears should aim to close below 20-day moving average at 1195, and the lows from Friday. Ideally, a close below 1183, would cause a lot of problems for the bulls.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- May add 1-2 new positions to the portfolio should the market stabilize today.
- Stopped out of MON, SPY, NFLX, and BIDU at my stop-losses on Friday.
- If the market closes below the 20-day moving average, I will close out my long positions as a result.
- Added HTZ, GS, KR & HRS to the portfolio on the 20-day MA test.

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.
Be sure to check out my Swing-Trading offering through SharePlanner that goes hand-in-hand with my podcast, offering all of the research, charts and technical analysis on the stock market and individual stocks, not to mention my personal watch-lists, reviews and regular updates on the most popular stocks, including the all-important big tech stocks.
