Taking the swing-trade short in ESRX
Often times when I’m searching for the day’s lazy trades, I end up making one or both of the trades as I write the post. That has happened once again today by getting short on Express Scripts (ESRX) at $61.51.
The other pick is one I’ve tried for a while now to time correctly, and that is McDonalds (MCD) which is now forming a triple-bottom pattern after failing to confirm the cup and handle pattern it had been developing before.
With the new short in ESRX for me that brings my portfolio up to 2 shorts and 1 long positions
Neither of the 3 do I plan on selling, and based on how this market is behaving today, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get one final push lower before this market closes for the day.
Heres the trade setups on today’s lazy swing-trades
LONG: McDonalds (MCD)
SHORT: Express Scripts (ESRX)
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.
The Pattern Day Trading Rule that doesn't allow for more than 3 day-trades within a 5-day period has been eliminated. This is a huge victory for retail traders, But how does that impact you as a trader, and what is the new margin rule that will monitor traders in its place?
