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 [...]

My Swing Trading Strategy New week, month and quarter. I’m 100% cash coming into the day and will look to get long with 1-2 new positions. Always the potential for an April fools market fade. Be aware. Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – a 5% decline on Friday, and has dropped four [...]

My Swing Trading Approach I closed out Square (SQ) yesterday for a +6.7% profit and Netflix (NFLX) for a +1.6% profit. I tried a short on the market when it looked like the market might actually breakdown early on, but it didn’t materialize into anything. A lot of major earnings [...]
My Swing Trading Approach I added one additional position on Friday, and will look to add more to the long side today, should the market show a willingness to reverse the morning weakness.
