My Swing Trading Strategy With FOMC yesterday, I didn’t add any new swing-trades to the portfolio yesterday. I instead sat on my hands and let my current positions increase in profits. There are a few particular stocks that I have my eye on today for possible entries. Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – The sell-off in
My Swing Trading Strategy One oversold bounce play added to the portfolio. My portfolio is quite conservative considering how much this market is run, and don’t want to be adding a significant amount of new positions at all-time highs here. Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Bounced two days in a row, but far from anything special.
The bears have lost themselves and their chance to drive this market lower yet again. The market has been on a three week rally and when it couldn’t find enough momentum to push SPX to new all-time highs, it gapped above them instead on a Sunday night.

My Swing Trading Strategy I closed my only short position in Shake Shack (SHAK) yesterday for a +6.5% profit. Now I am 100% in cash, waiting to see whether the bulls can push price through resistance or whether it is going to fall apart again at the highs. Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – End of day sell-off in
My Swing Trading Strategy I closed one short position out yesterday, following its stop-loss being hit, but added another that is off to a solid start following yesterday’s drop. I will look to add more short exposure should the market want to drop further today, and continue yesterday’s slide. However a break above key
My Swing Trading Strategy I went for a day-trade yesterday, but the volume in the overall market deteriorated too quickly for me to make much of the trade. Got in, got out, and no new positions held overnight. Watching for the same again today, whether the bulls can break out to new highs and through
