My Swing Trading Strategy No new trades for me yesterday, as I sat on my hands and let the market throw everyone else around. Today’s pre-market strength may lead to an opportunity to re-short this market, and I won’t be placing a lot of faith, in the ability of the [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I recognized the abnormal amount of weakness early on Friday, and tightened up the stops, so that I walked away with profits on all of my long positions, which included +6.1% on PYPL and +1.3% on NVDA. I am willing to play this market in any [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I didn’t increase my overall exposure in the market yesterday, as I sold my position in Boeing (BA) for a small loss, after it simply refused to bounce. This morning, I will watch overall market action to see if the bulls are able too bounce off [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I reduced my long exposure yesterday by closing out two positions, and adding one additional trade to my account. The bears have a similar grip on this market (this week) to what we saw two weeks ago. Nothing major, but certainly keeping the bulls from pushing [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy The low volume trading environment is making for difficult trading conditions, as the market is unable to follow through or hold on to any gains to the upside, and thereby creating wild intraday swings that cannot be counted on. Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Respectable bounce on [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I added another long position yesterday and will look to increase the value of my current positions before adding anything new to the portfolio. I don’t see myself adding any more than one new position today. Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Traded higher 1.7% yesterday, but was [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I did not add any new positions on Friday, but now with SPX having closed above key resistance, opens me up to additional long positions. Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Broke support at the 13.39 area, and dropped into the 12’s with Friday’s move. Good chance [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I added one additional swing-trade to the portfolio yesterday, while keeping my remaining two that I started the day with. I am open to adding one additional position today, but may stay put on the sidelines until we can see price action close above overhead resistance [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I did not add anything yesterday, because I was holding off to see whether the bulls could close above the heavy resistance overhead. It did not. I may add a new position today, if the bulls can come out of the gate strong and maintain that [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I added a new trade to the portfolio yesterday, but with low volume yesterday and a market that seemed non-committed, I’ll be very patient before adding a new position today. Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – A third day of declines sends the VIX 3.9% lower down to [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I added two new long positions yesterday to my portfolio – and both are off to good starts. I’ll look to add another long position today as well, and I have it in the back of my mind to be ready if this market decides to [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I didn’t add any new positions on Friday, and I’m coming into the new trading session today 100% cash. Reason why I didn’t by the ramp, because it wasn’t worth it to me to take on the risk over the weekend, for a simple hour of [...]
