My Swing Trading Approach I booked my profits in NFLX at $354 for a +3.2% profit yesterday. I added one additional long position, but that is all I am working with in this market. I am not looking to get aggressively long, and may even flip to the short side, if the bulls lose

My Swing Trading Approach I’m coming into the day with one long position to see whether the bulls can follow through on yesterday’s bounce and hold of the 50-day moving average as well as the hammer candle it managed to form. If the market turns bullish today, I may consider adding one additional long position.
