My Swing Trading Strategy I booked profits in Adobe (ADBE) yesterday for a +5% profit. I didn’t add any new positions yesterday, but will look to add another trade today.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Another test and rejection of the 5-day moving average. Interestingly enough though, the VIX is up four of the last five

My Swing Trading Strategy I added one additional trade to my portfolio yesterday, while tightening the stop on existing trades.

My Swing Trading Strategy I took profits in Applied Materials (AMAT) for a +2.8% profit on Friday, while also adding one additional position to the portfolio.

My Swing Trading Strategy I added one new position yesterday, while taking a loss in Hewlett Packard (HPQ). The breadth was horrible, with NYSE declining issues leading the way by a 17:11 margin.

My Swing Trading Approach I sold Schlumberger (SLB) yesterday for a +1.1% profit. I’ll be looking to add another 1-2 new positions to the portfolio today, on top of the one I added yesterday.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Popped about 10% yesterday but by the time the close rolled around, most of the gains

My Swing Trading Approach I closed out two positions yesterday: Netflix (NFLX) for a +1.5% profit and Square (SQ) for a +1.1% profit. Nothing all that exciting, but I was looking to curb some risk as the afternoon trading session was on shaky ground. May end up getting back in them in the

My Swing Trading Approach It was a second straight day for me, where I didn’t add any new positions to the portfolio. Dip buying still kickin’ strong, but the end of day antics of selling off is what causes the most havoc on most days. Either getting in early or buying right at the close
