  • 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
