Let's be frank - the Baidu $BIDU trade has been dead for quite some time now. 

But look at it now and you'll see a base that has formed that the stock is finally deciding to emerge out of. 

Does that mean you should buy it? Well, remember that it has earnings later this month on April 25th, but that doesn't mean that it can't be traded in the meantime. 

Not all of your swing-trades are going to be winners.

You are going to have losing trades and often. How you respond to them and more importantly the lessons you learn for them will define your success as a trader in the stock market going forward.

Bearish reversal a month ago results in choppy price action since.

That is often the case with the bearish reversals following a strong market rally. It offers the market a chance to consolidate price. So far, with the bearish reversal starting to hit the lower extremes of the indicator, anticipating a major price correction becomes a little less likely here. However, on the weekly chart of SPX, there is the potential that the market might just be trying to roll over here.
