Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): TICC (9.04), BRKR (12.95)
Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): LMT (76.35)
BIAS: 3% Long
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): Durable Goods Orders (8:30am), New Home Sales (10am)
My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are slightly positive
- S&P left the door open to further declines in the days ahead, with yesterday’s bearish close.
- Break in the neckline on the inverted head and shoulders pattern, shouldn’t be a huge concern for the bulls – only if upon a bounce in price, it struggles to reclaim that critical price level.
- Market is no longer overbought.
- Next level to test for the bears is 1116 on the S&P, which represents the 200-day moving average.
- 38% Fib retracement on the S&P is at 1107. 50% is at 1094. Right now we are at the 23% retracement.
- The main goal for the bulls is to re-gather its footing, and push above the previous highs at 1148.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- I’ll be looking to add a couple additional long positions to the portfolio this morning.
- Bought BRKR @ 13.78
- Shorted LMT @ 71.67, to function as a hedge.
- Upon adding a few long positions, will not hesitate to hedge those positions with a short position (ETF – SPY), if the market wants to continue the selling pressures.
- Gap as it currently stands looks fade-worthy.

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.
