My Swing Trading Strategy I added QID on Friday one the initial dump following Trump’s tweets. I held over the weekend, as well as my one long position too. Obviously futures are all over the place, and the only thing I can do here is tighten up my stops and see where price action wants

Depending on how the market reacts to the Fed and its interest rate cut, will determine how I trade going forward. For now,

One of the dullest summer months you’ll ever see.  First few days of July were okay, heck there, was even a four day stretch in the middle that was quite interesting. But these past eleven trading sessions have been some of the most boring trading sessions you’ll ever see. We’re seeing lower and lower

My Swing Trading Strategy I went more conservative yesterday, adding a utility play while also being stopped out of my software play.
