Swing Trade Approach: Big day for my long positions – the smaller amount of short positions that I held previously overnight didn’t fair too well, all but one at least. I closed my short on the biotechs (IBB) for a -3% loss. It was a great pattern that was showing a lot of weakness, but

Swing Trade Approach: It was a fairly quiet day of trading for me today. I did add two new trades to the portfolio, have tightened the stops on others, and will be taking profits in other trades in the days ahead, simply because I won’t be holding them through earnings. One for instance is Uber

Swing Trade Approach: I took some partial positions off the table yesterday which included +6% in ETSY (ETSY), +5% in Splunk (SPLK), +3% in Home Depot (HD), while also cutting a couple of other positions to minimize losses following Friday’s sell-off. Also added some more short exposure to the portfolio as well. I’m open to adding

Swing Trade Approach: Another busy day as I closed Vertex (VRTX) at 232.69 for a +6% profit, Virgin Galactic (SPCE) for a +6% profit, I took some profits in my Square (SQ) trade for a +8% profit, and reduced my exposure in my Spotify (SPOT) trade by taking a portion of that trade off for

Swing Trade Approach: I closed out the second half of my short position in Walt Disney (DIS) today for a +3% profit. I also added two new long positions while closing out one other long position in Levi Strauss (LEVI) which was one of more bizarre acting stocks that I have traded in some time, taking a loss

Swing Trade Approach: Whoa! That was quite a day for the stock market. I was stopped out of a few positions right at the open. The big ones being Universal Display Corp (OLED) and Delta (DAL) for a  -6.8% loss and -5.7% loss (Those loser trades don’t deserve being highlighted in bold, I hate those things, and you

Swing Trade Approach: Busy day on Friday. I covered one of my short positions, Nutrien (NTR) at 44.39 for a 6.7% profit. Nice gain for a short position that I have held since November 26th at $47.60. But I didn’t stop there. I sadly closed out one of the more impressive trades of the year Visa (V), which

Swing Trade Approach: I closed out Nuance Communications (NUAN) at $19.82 for a nice +11% profit. I held the stock since before Christmas when I got in at $17.87. Also, I covered my short position in Advanced Auto Parts (AAP) after some crazy call action on the options started to pile in this afternoon. If someone

Swing Trade Approach: I added one long position yesterday, not the best start to the trade, but I also took 1/3 of my position in HD off the table for a +5.2% profit. Still building that balance between long and short positions right now, and not looking to get overly extended to the long side

Swing Trade Approach: So here’s the thing, I closed out Royal Caribbean (RCL), my last position at an 11.4% profit today. The sell-off today was demoralizing as my longest holding swing-trade of two months to the day was knocked out of my portfolio. Granted, I took home 11.4% on the second half and +12.6% on
