Pullback

My Swing Trading Strategy I added some financial exposure yesterday, and will consider adding more long exposure today, should the market conditions warrant it. Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – VIX sold for two straight days, and 6.8% yesterday alone, with the potential to see a retest of 12.00 in the very near future. However, with that

My Swing Trading Strategy I closed out one of my trades yesterday that simply wasn’t doing anything for me and was simply wavering far too much due to the low volume, summer trading.

Last week’s selling could create some dip-buying opportunities this week. As is the case on every Monday, I have put together a list of long setups to watch for the week ahead.

My Swing Trading Strategy I took profits in Facebook (FB) on Friday for a +3% profit. I also added one other position too. I’ll be more inclined to let my current positions go to work for me this morning, and not over-extend my long exposure.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – VIX dropped hard for a third straight
