Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): TICC (9.04), BRKR (12.95), CVX (76.89), DAL (11.05), ELY (6.39), ITW (44.45), SSO (38.03), QQQQ (48.06)

BIAS: 73% Long

My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are slightly above break-even.
- Volatility could increase as we approach the end-of-quarter.
- Bulls must push through 1150 on the S&P, which is currently acting as resistance, followed by 1173.
- Asian and European markets are down.
- I’ll be watching the Consumer Confidence report and the market’s response to it.
- Bulls now have reclaimed the neckline of the confirmed inverse head and shoulders pattern.
- Bears should aim 1) To push the markets back below 1130, and 2) Put in a lower-low, by breaking below 1122.
- In the very near-term, the markets have managed to work off their overbought conditions. In the intermediate to long-term picture, we are still overbought.
- Thursday could set up to be a wild day with GDP and Jobless Claims due.
- Last week before quarter-end.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- I’ll look to add no more than 1-2 positions to the portfolio today.
- Bought QQQQ @ 49.55
- I will not hesitate to add a hedge position if this market wants to sell-off today.
- Any gap up/down this morning should represent a good fading opportunity.

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.
