My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures rallying early this morning – up 1%
- Price action has been contained within 1065 and 1040 on the S&P. A break in either direction could spark additional follow-through.
- No major news this morning (as of this posting) is driving the market action.
- Short-term trend line mentioned in yesterday’s plan, could be broken to the upside today. It is around 1058ish.
- Expect volume to continue to weaken as we head into Labor-Day weekend. Previous two trading days have seen extremely weak volume.
- Another price level to watch for the bulls is 1070, I find it difficult to believe they will break through it today.
- Yesterday marked the third failed attempt in five days to break and close below the 1040 level. Major cause for concern, but once the level does break, it will spur on a significant amount of selling thereafter.
- Strong market rallies on the first day of the trading month isn’t all that surprising, historically. It is fairly typical.
- A rally today will work off all of the oversold conditions. Not a bad opportunity to reload the short positions.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- Good chance I will be stopped out of my position in DDS, resulting in a small loss, since tightening it yesterday.
- I could end up adding as much as 3-4 new short positions to my portfolio this morning. I’ll post everyone of them.
- I will fade intra-day price extremes using TZA and TNA today.
- There should be a lot of good short setups throughout the day to capitalize on.
- I will likely, at some point, hedge the portfolio today, if it doesn’t show any signs of wanting to breakdown.
- I will refrain from fading this morning gap, unless there is considerable weakness that creeps in prior to the open.

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.
