Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): TICC (8.64)
Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): SPY (113.30), DELL (13.26)
BIAS: 25% Short
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): International Trade (8:30am), Jobless Claims (8:30am), EIA Natural Gas Report (10:30am), EIA Petroleum Status Report (11am)
My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are slightly positive
- Jobless Claims will be the main focus heading into the open, and should have a significant impact to market direction to day. Consensus is 470k.
- 1104 of the Downward trend-line will be today’s key resistance level for the bulls to breakthrough. Last three days have been unsuccessful.
- If the bears could hold the 1104 trend-line and then proceed to sell off even further and eventually break the 1040 level, it would spell disaster for the bulls – the downward trend-line would be working perfectly and according to plan.
- Breaking through the 50-day moving average for the bears and 200 for the bulls are key near-term obstacles for both.
- Except for July, and since April, the second half of each month has been much more conducive to seeing significant selling, than the first half.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- Added two new additional short positions to the portfolio yesterday: SPY and DELL.
- Should the market sell-off today and not break the downward trend-line, I’ll be inclined to add maybe one additional position to the portfolio.
- Not looking to rush this market into doing anything right now. I’ll wait for it to show me its intentions first. I am only trading off of the fact, that it is struggling with the downward trend-line off of the April highs.

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.
