Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): TICC (10.28), HRS (45.34), CEL (32.89), BMRN (25.80)
Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): TFSL (8.23), ADBE (30.10), DTV (43.30), EQR (51.15)
BIAS: 2% Short
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): None
My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are down slightly afters selling off more than 11 points from the overnight highs on the S&P contract.
- Asian and European markets are mixed, but the latter has given up most of its gains from earlier in the trading session.
- 1200 will continue to be the rally-cry for both the bulls and bears.
- While the bulls managed to close above the 20-day moving average, the 10-day has been acting as additional resistance.
- The inability to hold overnight highs, and if the bulls cannot push through 1200 early on in today’s trading session, will be a very bad sign for bears and could lead to an another sell-off in the market.
- Thursday and Friday’s strength should not be perceived as anything more than a dead-cat bounce at this juncture.
- This is what it boils down to…a break below 1189 on the S&P will be a strong indication we are putting in a ‘lower-high’, which isn’t a total game changer, but a break of 1173 over the coming days is – as it would establish a new downtrend with a ‘lower-low in place’.
- For the bulls, the 1200 price level and the 10-day moving averages must be retaken. Anything else will be indicative of failure.
- Thanksgiving week traditionally has a bullish bias.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- Will look to add 2 new positions to the portfolio today (a long and short position).
- Tightened the stop-loss in BMRN. Will likely tighten CEL today as well.
- EQR (short) and BMRN (long) are the latest additions to the portfolio.
- May be tempted to book my gains in TFSL at some point today.

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.
In today's episode, Ryan answers the questions of one listener ranging from his transition from paper trading to live trading, and swing trading to day trading. Also addressed is his approach to trading, specifically Fibonacci retracement levels and why Ryan prefers Pivot Points instead.
