My Trading Plan for each day
Swing Trading Strategy: Closed my last remaining half of the Splunk (SPLK) trade yesterday at $161.32 for a +9% profit. Also made a nice day-trade in Tesla (TSLA) that I scaled out of for a gains that were as high as +11%. One of my short positions was also stopped out – PNC [...]
Swing Trade Approach: Big day for the market yesterday! But for me? Not so much. Software stocks all took a hit across the board, and that had been my bread and butter over the past couple of months. However, I did book +24% in my UBER trade that I had [...]
Swing Trade Approach: Big day for my long positions – the smaller amount of short positions that I held previously overnight didn’t fair too well, all but one at least. I closed my short on the biotechs (IBB) for a -3% loss. It was a great pattern that was showing [...]
Swing Trade Approach: It was a fairly quiet day of trading for me today. I did add two new trades to the portfolio, have tightened the stops on others, and will be taking profits in other trades in the days ahead, simply because I won’t be holding them through earnings. [...]
Just like the title says, don’t put much stock (pun intended) into this rally today. Not that it can’t last, but just today alone doesn’t undo the bearishness that has pervaded the market over the last couple of weeks. […]
Swing Trade Approach: I took some partial positions off the table yesterday which included +6% in ETSY (ETSY), +5% in Splunk (SPLK), +3% in Home Depot (HD), while also cutting a couple of other positions to minimize losses following Friday’s sell-off. Also added some more short exposure to the portfolio as [...]
Swing Trade Approach: Another busy day as I closed Vertex (VRTX) at 232.69 for a +6% profit, Virgin Galactic (SPCE) for a +6% profit, I took some profits in my Square (SQ) trade for a +8% profit, and reduced my exposure in my Spotify (SPOT) trade by taking a portion [...]
Swing Trade Approach: I closed out the second half of my short position in Walt Disney (DIS) today for a +3% profit. I also added two new long positions while closing out one other long position in Levi Strauss (LEVI) which was one of more bizarre acting stocks that I have traded in [...]
Swing Trade Approach: Whoa! That was quite a day for the stock market. I was stopped out of a few positions right at the open. The big ones being Universal Display Corp (OLED) and Delta (DAL) for a -6.8% loss and -5.7% loss (Those loser trades don’t deserve being highlighted in bold, I [...]
Swing Trade Approach: Busy day on Friday. I covered one of my short positions, Nutrien (NTR) at 44.39 for a 6.7% profit. Nice gain for a short position that I have held since November 26th at $47.60. But I didn’t stop there. I sadly closed out one of the more impressive trades [...]
Swing Trade Approach: I closed out Nuance Communications (NUAN) at $19.82 for a nice +11% profit. I held the stock since before Christmas when I got in at $17.87. Also, I covered my short position in Advanced Auto Parts (AAP) after some crazy call action on the options started to pile [...]
Swing Trade Approach: I added one long position yesterday, not the best start to the trade, but I also took 1/3 of my position in HD off the table for a +5.2% profit. Still building that balance between long and short positions right now, and not looking to get overly [...]
