• My Swing Trading Strategy No new positions yesterday as I sat on the sidelines. Market breadth looked questionable, and not real panic moment for the market that would lead me to believe a bottom had been put in place.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – A 7% drop yesterday took the indicator back down to 19.12. Not

  • My Swing Trading Strategy No new positions for me yesterday as I sit in 100% cash and watching as this market drops. Once I see a sign that there has been a panic flush out to the downside, I will consider a long position. Chasing short positions at this juncture isn’t ideal from a  reward/risk

  • My Swing Trading Strategy With the ISM report that came out yesterday and instantly reversed the market in a very hard and quick manner, it has suddenly created a much more bearish market going forward. I tightened my stops today, and will continue to do so where necessary going forward.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – A

  • My Swing Trading Strategy I covered my short position early on yesterday for a loss, and added one additional long position to the portfolio. I will not be looking to add any additional long positions to the portfolio, and will manage my existing ones today.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Dropped 5.7% yesterday to 16.24, and

  • One day of price action has wiped out the last nine days of profits. There hasn’t been much action to speak of over those last nine trading sessions, which is why an actual sell-off is able to do such damage on the charts. However, I don’t see a lot of panic in the price action,

  • Stock market is searching every crevice for more buyers. The bulls started the week off on a strong note, but once the market settled in, you started to see some profit-taking and since then, the bulls have squandered 13 points off the highs of the day. I booked profits in Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for

  • My Swing Trading Approach I took two swing-trades yesterday, and managed to hold them overnight, which has been a rarity of late. They are poised to gap higher with pre-market strength. I will look at adding another position today, but won't be overly aggressive in doing so.   Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) - While SPX finished higher,

  • My Swing Trading Approach Yesterday I found myself day-trading the market again. Not the ideal situation, but considering the after hour news that hit with Trump and tariffs on China, it turned out to be a good decision. Two trades yesterday, both winners, with AMZN yielding +1.4%. I am open to playing the market in

  • My Swing Trading Approach I hate these gaps higher, as it carries a far greater amount of risk coming into the trading session, considering how many of them the market has faded over the past two months. Nonetheless, I'm 100% cash, and didn't participate in Friday's sell-off. I am looking to trade in either direction

  • My Swing Trading Approach It remains to be seen whether the bulls are going to manage a “buy the dip” reaction to the morning’s pre-market gap down. Should that happen, I’ll likely add to the long exposure already in the portfolio. Should it not, reconsidering the short side comes into view yet again.  Indicators
