Pullback

My Swing Trading Strategy I booked my gains in ServiceNow (NOW) at $300.54 from $280.67 for a +7.1% profit. I added one additional position yesterday as well, while increasing the stops in other positions and will consider adding another trade today. Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – A huge 7.5% decline yesterday, much bigger than I expected to see

My Swing Trading Strategy I added one additional trade yesterday, and will consider adding more today if the pre-market strength, following Jerome Powell’s comments holds up. I’ll also increase my stops on my current trades as well.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Rallied for the third straight day, despite the market finishing slightly in the green.

My Swing Trading Strategy No additional positions were added yesterday. I increased the stop-loss on a couple of trades and held everything overnight. Right now the portfolio is doing incredibly well, and unless the market gives me justification to add another position, I’ll stand aside. I have a number of high quality trade setups though

My Swing Trading Approach Quiet day overall for me yesterday. I added one additional long setup on the morning dip.

I’m open to adding another long position today, as long as the market holds up, and doesn’t attempt to give back yesterday’s gains.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Small drop yesterday considering the overall market’s

My Swing Trading Approach By adding a long position yesterday to the portfolio, it balances out the short position that I am also carrying into the day from last week. I’ll look to aggressively add 1 to 2 new long positions in the early going.   Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – A very dull session for the

My Swing Trading Approach I added a short position on Friday, it hasn’t done anything for me to this point, and with futures pointing higher, I’ll likely have to get out and get back on the long side. Right now it is pretty fluid, so the idea that the market could close the gap at

My Swing Trading Approach I closed my position in SPXU yesterday to avoid a late day rally in the market (SPXU trades inversely to the market) for a +2.4% profit. Yeah, I wouldn’t mind having it here at the open still, but I can always get back in it with the right risk/reward setup. I

My Swing Trading Approach Yesterday, I booked profits in Netflix (NFLX) for a +1.3% profit and I added one short position to the portfolio, which should play out well at the open of today’s market. The dip mentality remains strong in this market, so today will be a key test for it. If a rebound is in
