• My Swing Trading Approach I added two new long swing-trades to the portfolio yesterday. However, I will be a little more reserved about how many new longs I add today. The market will have to prove it wants wants to break the declining downtrend off of the October highs.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Looking at

  • My Swing Trading Approach I am coming into today 100% cash, but also very skeptical about getting long on this market as most trading sessions where there is a strong earnings report that comes out, usually sees price fade throughout the trading session. I closed out my position in Bank of America (BAC) yesterday

  • 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 reports coming out

  • 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. At the very least, I will also be tightening my stop losses and protecting profits.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Another massive drop

  • My Swing Trading Approach I didn’t add anything to the portfolio yesterday as the market was dull and not providing much substance to go on. I’ll consider adding a new long position today, if the morning strength can hold.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Two days in a row where early morning strength resulted in giving

  • My Swing Trading Approach I booked profits in Nike (NKE) at $80.47 yesterday for a +2.4% profit. I added another long position yesterday as well and will look to add more today, if this market can pull out of the bull flag that it is trying to form here.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Crashed and

  • Shorts have been in control so far this shortened trading week.  Yeah, right now the market may be trading higher, but it is barely higher and well off of the highs of the day.  A lot of your big names are trading lower, but the good thing for the bulls here, is that there isn’t

  • My Swing Trading Approach I was stopped out yesterday in Square (SQ) for a +6% profit, and Amazon (AMZN) for a very small profit. I picked up another long position late in the afternoon, looking to play a bounce in the market today. I’ll look to add another long position this morning if

  • This is a pretty heavy pullback that we are seeing so far this morning. I’m not overly thrilled that the bulls have given up all of its gains from Friday and now some from Thursday too. However, the 50-day moving average is holding (for now), and I’ve decided to take on a new position to

  • My Swing Trading Approach I have three positions currently in the portfolio. All profitable, but will need a pullback to justify adding a new position here. The market is certainly stretched and prime for some profit taking. Playing the dip is the best option here.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) - VIX has bounced the last two
