    My Swing Trading Approach I didn't add any new positions yesterday, and that may be the case again today, until I can see what this market wants to do with overbought conditions (a rarity these days), and whether the market can consolidate some first.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) - Not falling like it was last week.

    My Swing Trading Approach I added two new trades on Friday, and will look to add another 1-2 more today should the market show signs it wants to add to the gains. Never trust this market. Volatility swings are wild, and you should expect a change of direction at any moment.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) -

    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 Nothing much going yesterday. I didn't like the risk/reward to the downside, which in hindsight wasn't actually all that bad considering the extent of the sell-off. I did play the bounce in Amazon early on, and while it looked promising, fell apart in the afternoon. Today I will look to play

    My Swing Trading Approach I played SPXU twice on Friday. I closed it out early on when it looked like the bulls might try to take the market back up for a +2.8% profit. But shortly later, I re-entered the trade again, and sold it at the end of the day for another +2.9% profit.

  • Swing-Trading Strategy Report #346

    My Swing Trading Approach I didn't add any new positions yesterday, as the market was dull and didn't afford any real trade setups. I still have SPXU and will look great heading into the open today. If the market can wash out the longs and put in a healthy bottom, I'll look at closing SPXU
