    Swing Trading Strategy: Are you living to trade another day?  I’ve shorted plenty, and I mean plenty of bear markets. Most of the time successfully. Look at my track record for Q4 in 2018 and I did quite well with that, and so far I’m doing pretty well with this one too. I’m profitable so

    Swing Trading Strategy: I want to share with you, my notes that I shared with members of the Trading Block this morning, hoping it can be of some use for you as well… Another day where I am not putting any trade setups out there ahead of the market open. In a perfect world, I

    Swing Trading Strategy: How am I now 100% cash!?!  My two remaining long positions were stopped out – that stunk. Both were contained with AbbieVie (ABBV) being the worst at -6% and the other, Northrop Grumman losing -3%. But Short positions were straight fire – I covered United Parcel Service (UPS) for +10%, Caterpillar for

    Swing Trading Strategy: Holy cow what a crazy, freakin’ day! Granted, a 100 point sell-off on SPX is nothing like a 100 point sell-off back in January of 2018 when it was trading 500 points lower. However the impact that it has on the portfolio is still incredible. Most of my long positions over the

    Swing Trading Strategy: The days of easy trading are but a distant memory now. This is why for the past month or so, I’ve been trying to add short exposure, gradually to the portfolio, and while it didn’t save me completely, it has certainly helped, but still some losses. Overall though, I was booking profits

    Swing Trading Strategy: I took partial profits in a number of positions yesterday including +6% in Thor Industries (THO), +4% in Facebook (FB) and +5% in Coupa Software (COUP). I took a loss in my first foray into the crypto world by trading Grayscare Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). I think it could bounce here, but the overnight gaps and how

    Swing Trading Strategy: Incredible day yesterday as I finally closed out my Virgin Galactic (SPCE) trade at 33.41 for a 77% profit. Really fun trade, followed the plan, and exited when it wouldn’t let me stay any longer. I added one new long position as well as a short position.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – VIX

    Swing-Trading Outlook #595

    Swing Trading Strategy: Virgin Galactic (SPCE) continues to steal the show, with another large pre-market gap higher. Still long from 18.98, with more than +60% in profits. I closed out the last half of the Apache (APA) for a manageable loss. Some negative news in the pre-market with Apple (AAPL) lowering guidance for the quarter,

    Swing Trading Strategy: Trimmed some positions yesterday, that included +15% in Square (SQ), +7% in Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), +2% in Tesla (TSLA) and +3% in Switch (SWCH). I am open to adding more positions to the portfolio this morning, and quite ready for a possible market pullback should it happen.  Indicators Volatility Index

  • Swing-Trading Outlook #593

    Swing Trading Strategy: Nothing major happening in my portfolio yesterday, but I did have a number of positions rally hard for me – most notably was the +20% in gains currently in the portfolio for Virgin Galactic (SPCE). Stopped out of a short position Corning (GLW), which annoys me on a day like today, when the
