Technical Analysis

My Swing Trading Approach For a second straight day, I am entering the trading session 100% cash. I attempted to trade two stocks long yesterday, but quickly pulled out of them, once it became obvious that the market had no intention of rallying, following an intraday breakout.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) - Very little giveback yesterday,

My Swing Trading Approach I closed my position in SPXU for a +5.9% profit and my short position in QQQ for a +2% profit. Not bad for a day where the Dow was down 600 points. I'm sitting in cash now  and looking to deploy some of it today, should the market bounce hold.  Indicators Volatility

My Swing Trading Approach I added one additional short position to my already bearish portfolio on Friday. I could add another one, if the market really took a dump today, but I doubt that I do. However, I could see myself cover my positions today because the market puts in a bottom, or I ride

My Swing Trading Approach I swung a trade to the short side yesterday, but quickly covered it in the afternoon, when the market started to pop higher. I'm not overly aggressive ahead of the midterms here simply because, it is hard to determine with any confidence what the ultimate outcome will be, particularly when it

My Swing Trading Approach I am coming back from a two day-hiatus from trading - one of my firsts in a very long time. I'm coming in 100% cash, and will look to deploy some of it, should the market provide some direction. I am careful here about getting overly zealous to the long side

My Swing Trading Approach I added three new trades to the portfolio yesterday, while being stopped out by another. Right now they are all positioned well, to add to their gains from yesterday's rally. However, caution is warranted as this market has proved plenty of times this past month that it doesn't like to hold

My Swing Trading Approach The bulls were unable to hold any of the early morning profits yesterday, which ultimately was nothing more than a sell-fest immediately following the market open.
