I’m long on the U.S. Dollar by trading in UUP. It’s an ETF that goes long on the U.S. Dollar versus all other major currencies. This is an indirect way of shorting gold with the idea that weakness in gold will lead to strength in the dollar. I’m not going to play this for long, as my stop-loss currently rests at 22.19 while I got in at 22.44 so another percentage drop in the dollar will lead me to getting stopped out.
Also when constructing bollinger bands around UUP’s price history, the U.S. dollar is below the bottom band, which historically speaking has led to a quick bounce but not necessarily a major rally of sorts.

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.
Is it necessary to have a set position size with every trade that you take as a swing trader? Or can it be based on feelings and that gut instinct as to whether how successful or profitable a swing trade could be perceived as being? In this podcast episode, Ryan details why using a fluid position size approach is detrimental to long-term success as a trader.
