My Swing Trading Strategy

This has been by far the most difficult month of trading that I have ever seen. I mean, when you have a Twitter account that can bring ruin to the financial markets, it makes predictability a lot more difficult. The month of May started with a tweet fanning the flames of the already Chinese and now is ending with a tweet starting a new trade war with Mexico. 

Indicators

  • Volatility Index (VIX) – Though it did manage to finish 3.4% lower yesterday, expect this indicator to shoot through the roof. 
  • T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): Diverging indicator yesterday with negative breadth despite a positive market. Reading comes in at 25%.  
  • Moving averages (SPX): The 200-day moving average will be broken at the market open.
