My Swing Trading Strategy I booked profits in Schlumberger (SLB) for +3.6% yesterday while also adding another position to the portfolio.

My Swing Trading Strategy The market provided very little incentive yesterday to add any new trades to the portfolio.

My Swing Trading Strategy I added one additional trade to the portfolio, but the market still showing a low volume readout following Monday’s rally. I may add one additional trade to the portfolio today as well, depending on the strength of the market.   Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Spent all of yesterday trending higher in small

My Swing Trading Strategy Lowest volume day of the year yesterday and even less than what we saw on the half day of trading, the day after Thanksgiving. In fact, the market finished complete flat yesterday. In essence – that’s not something anyone can do much with. I’ll be looking to add 1-2 new positions

My Swing Trading Strategy I added two long positions yesterday, and will look to add one or two more if the bulls can sustain yesterday’s breakout.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Declines in five of the last six sessions, and now sits at 13.4 following yesterday’s 2.3% decline.

My Swing Trading Strategy New week, month and quarter. I’m 100% cash coming into the day and will look to get long with 1-2 new positions. Always the potential for an April fools market fade.
