My Swing Trading Strategy I added some financial exposure yesterday, and will consider adding more long exposure today, should the market conditions warrant it. Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – VIX sold for two straight days, and 6.8% yesterday alone, with the potential to see a retest of 12.00 in the very [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I closed out one of my trades yesterday that simply wasn’t doing anything for me and was simply wavering far too much due to the low volume, summer trading. However, I added one additional trade to the portfolio and looking to ride my two positions that [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy The market decided to throw a temper-tantrum on Friday, with above average volume, and sell-off that wiped out one of my long positions. Should the market want to shake off the sell-off, I am more than open to adding a new long position, however, I am [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I was stopped out of my Disney (DIS) trade yesterday, primarily due to the heavy influence from the Netflix (NFLX) earnings miss. However, I added two additional trades following the stop-out, and will consider adding a third position if the early morning strength can hold. Indicators [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I booked some profits yesterday with a +2.4% profit in Nike (NKE) and +2.1% in Twitter (TWTR). I had a day-trade in Square (SQ) that started out great, but couldn’t hold the gains into the close, so sold it for a small profit of +0.3%. I only have one position [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy Closed out two trades yesterday, but managed to keep and raise the stops on three other positions. I’ll look to add 1-2 new trades to the portfolio today if the market decides to bounce. Momentum plays took a hit yesterday, so there’ll be plenty of them [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy No new positions yesterday – at this point the market is getting a bit stretched, the volume is very light, and price action very contained, and a pullback here is very possible to work off the overbought conditions this market is currently experiencing. Right now my [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I took profits in Facebook (FB) on Friday for a +3% profit. I also added one other position too. I’ll be more inclined to let my current positions go to work for me this morning, and not over-extend my long exposure. Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – VIX dropped hard [...]
My Swing Trading Strategy I added one additional trade. I am holding gains in Facebook (FB) coming into today, but following Trump’s comments, may be worth it to just book the gains and move on from that trade, considering the headline risk associated with the Libra currency of late. I [...]
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 [...]
Support and Resistance is fundamental concepts to swing-trading. This week, I was asked by a listener if I could make a podcast about them and while it can be tough to do it without showing you charts, I think I did a pretty good job of explaining the concept so [...]
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 [...]
