Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): None
BIAS: 91% Long
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): Employment Situation (8:30am), Wholesale Trade (10am)
My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are moderately negative
- Employment numbers will paint the picture for the market today.
- Bulls managed to hold the previous day’s lows in trading yesterday.
- Price maintained support above the long-term downward trend-line.
- Best case scenario for the bears today is to gap below yesterday’s lows and move below 1140 or Tuesday’s lows.
- Best case scenario for the bulls today is to gap above the 1063 level and ultimately push through the 1173 level.
- Somewhere in between the two scenarios would be cause to tighten my stop-losses even further.
- Asian markets mixed, European markets are feeling some selling pressures.
- Aloca (AA) reported positive earnings to jump-start Q3 reporting.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- Closed out my position in Delta Airlines (DAL) at 11.71 (bought originally at 11.68) for a very small profit. The position never materialized into anything significant.
- I am keeping my stops where they currently are, but will tighten them, depending on the economic report. A large gap down this morning, could lead me to close my positions out.
- Added PAG at 13.34 yesterday.
- I am not at all hedged in my portfolio right now.

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.
In today’s episode, I talk about the merits of trading just one stock and the potential hazards it poses and why it leaves you looking for “a trade setup” rather than “the trade setup”.
