    Swing Trading Strategy: Holy cow what a crazy, freakin’ day! Granted, a 100 point sell-off on SPX is nothing like a 100 point sell-off back in January of 2018 when it was trading 500 points lower. However the impact that it has on the portfolio is still incredible. Most of my long positions over the

    Swing Trading Strategy: The days of easy trading are but a distant memory now. This is why for the past month or so, I’ve been trying to add short exposure, gradually to the portfolio, and while it didn’t save me completely, it has certainly helped, but still some losses. Overall though, I was booking profits

    Swing Trading Strategy: I took partial profits in a number of positions yesterday including +6% in Thor Industries (THO), +4% in Facebook (FB) and +5% in Coupa Software (COUP). I took a loss in my first foray into the crypto world by trading Grayscare Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). I think it could bounce here, but the overnight gaps and

    Swing Trading Strategy: Incredible day yesterday as I finally closed out my Virgin Galactic (SPCE) trade at 33.41 for a 77% profit. Really fun trade, followed the plan, and exited when it wouldn’t let me stay any longer. I added one new long position as well as a short position.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – VIX

    Swing-Trading Outlook #595

    Swing Trading Strategy: Virgin Galactic (SPCE) continues to steal the show, with another large pre-market gap higher. Still long from 18.98, with more than +60% in profits. I closed out the last half of the Apache (APA) for a manageable loss. Some negative news in the pre-market with Apple (AAPL) lowering guidance for the quarter,

    Swing Trading Strategy: Trimmed some positions yesterday, that included +15% in Square (SQ), +7% in Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), +2% in Tesla (TSLA) and +3% in Switch (SWCH). I am open to adding more positions to the portfolio this morning, and quite ready for a possible market pullback should it happen.  Indicators Volatility Index

    Swing Trading Strategy: Nothing major happening in my portfolio yesterday, but I did have a number of positions rally hard for me – most notably was the +20% in gains currently in the portfolio for Virgin Galactic (SPCE). Stopped out of a short position Corning (GLW), which annoys me on a day like today, when the

    Swing Trading Strategy: I closed another portion of my Virgin Galactic (SPCE) trade for +11% profit and will ride the remaining position as long as possible. Closed my short position in Dana (DAN) for a 3% loss. I closed Shake Shack (SHAK) out flat – as it just couldn’t push its way through the

    Swing Trading Strategy: Great day today. I was spooked out of a little of my Virgin Galactic (SPCE) position perhaps a little too early. I sold a third of my position for a +5% profit. Good, but I would have liked to have booked those profits may a liiiiiiittle bit later than what I did.

  • Swing-Trading Outlook #590

    Swing Trading Strategy: I added two new long positions and topped it off with a “just in case” short position for the portfolio. I closed out Steris (STE) for a 1% loss – the stock has literally done nothing for me the past month or so that I have owned it. Earnings tomorrow, and no way
