    My Swing Trading Strategy I kept all of my current positions that I came into the day with and added one additional trade in the retail sector. I’m not looking at adding any additional trades at this point, and will rest on my current trades, until this market can show that it is ready to

    My Swing Trading Strategy I raised my stop-loss on SHOP on Friday to $351.09 on Friday and took profits there for a +2.2% profit. Not a huge gain, but by using a stop-loss it prevented a big loss. I also added one additional swing-trade on Friday. With today’s weakness I will likely play

    My Swing Trading Strategy I didn’t add any new long positions to the portfolio yesterday as the market wasn’t showing quality breadth or conviction that would be enough to lead me to increasing my long exposure. Today may be more of the same, if the bulls come out trying to give up its early morning

    My Swing Trading Strategy I added two new long positions to the portfolio, both finishing in the green, and increasing my long exposure in the process.

    My Swing Trading Strategy I reduced my exposure to the long side yesterday following a topsy-turvy trading session. I will look to add 1-2 new long positions today.

    My Swing Trading Strategy I was stopped out of Twitter (TWTR) for a +4% profit yesterday. I hate getting stopped out, but it does signify a solid, disciplined, and well-executed trade.

    My Swing Trading Strategy One new swing-trade was added yesterday to the portfolio, but didn’t increase my long exposure at all, as I was stopped out of one stock, and closed out another for performing so poorly. Neither loss was detrimental, but more about managing risk. I will look to add one additional long

    My Swing Trading Strategy I added one new trade to the portfolio yesterday, but in terms of adding more long exposure at this point, I may hold off, until I can see with a bit more certainty as to whether this market wants to challenge new all-time highs or not. For sure, I’ll be increasing

    My Swing Trading Strategy I added two new trades to the portfolio yesterday. Having gotten out of SPXU on Tuesday was a sigh of relief, as yesterday’s rally in SPX would have otherwise wiped out my profits. On the flip side, I had to bail on my SBUX position yesterday due to a gap
