Resistance

My Swing Trading Approach I'm not liking the news out of Apple (AAPL) this morning and the impact that it has and will likely have throughout the trading day. With Apple warning you have a new issue for this market to worry and fear, and that is the prospect of a disappointing earnings season. Guard

My Swing Trading Approach It is a new year, and I am 100% cash coming into it. I closed my only two positions out on Friday for a +1.5% profit in AMZN and a +1% profit in AAPL. I don't want to get short right out of the gate, because the risk/reward won't be favorable but will instead

My Swing Trading Approach I booked my profits in AMZN and NFLX yesterday as the market was starting to pullback. I took +2.5% in NFLX and +1% in AMZN. Right now I am net short on the market, but won't hesitate to get long again, if the conditions merit that.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) - While

My Swing Trading Approach I added two new long positions yesterday and closed NVDA out at $150.95 yesterday for a flat trade. I will be very tentative about adding any new positions today and will let the market play itself out in order to show it can handle a gap up.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) -

My Swing Trading Approach I closed out my long position in NFLX for a -0.9% loss on Friday, early in the trading session, and then took a long position in SPXU (short ETF of 3:1 on SPX) for a +3.8% profit. Today, I am entering the day 100% cash, and will watch to see if

My Swing Trading Approach I added one long position yesterday that's off to a good start, once the market showed a willingness to bounce and sustain the bounce off of the lows of the day. I will consider adding another long position today should the momentum sustain itself following the jobs report.  Indicators Volatility Index

My Swing Trading Approach I closed out my long position in SPXU (3:1 SPX short ETF) on Tuesday afternoon for a 6.3% profit. Sure, it'd be nice to still have it today, with the market gapping much lower, but after a 90 point sell-off on Tuesday, and a day-off in between, I had no desire

My Swing Trading Approach I took a position fading the market's gap up yesterday and held it overnight. Ahead of tomorrow's market closure, I suspect volume will be notably lower, and a willingness to continue pushing the market further into overbought conditions will prove difficult. I won't be overly aggressive in either direction today, but

There are some pretty glaring divergences in this market right now (sound familiar?) I thought it would be interesting to show the difference in the charts right now between Apple, (AAPL) which is hitting new all-time highs and breaking out of consolidation today:

My Swing Trading Approach I will be looking to add additional tech exposure today as well as raise the stops on my existing, profitable positions. Market has to hold up in the early going though, for me to commit additional funds.  Indicators
