• 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

  • My Swing Trading Approach I didn’t add any new positions to the portfolio on Friday. I will be open to adding another long position this morning but will need to see evidence that the market is willing to bounce (again) off of its lows of the day. But more than likely, I’ll be playing it

  • My Swing Trading Approach Quiet day overall for me yesterday. I added one additional long setup on the morning dip. I’m a little reluctant at this point to add additional long exposure as I am about as long as I want to be under the current circumstances. May look for opportunities to raise some cash

  • My Swing Trading Approach I took profits early on in Netflix (NFLX) as it failed to hold the profits from yesterday and came away with a +1.1% profit on the trade. I added an energy play to the portfolio as the sector continued its impressive performance for a second straight day. Retail numbers came

  • My Swing Trading Approach I closed my sole short position at the market open yesterday and added two additional long positions. I’m open to adding another long position today, as long as the market holds up, and doesn’t attempt to give back yesterday’s gains.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Small drop yesterday considering the overall market’s

  • There’s not a lot stocks to swing-trade short out there… With that said, I haven’t taken a short position in any of these stocks listed below, and even though I had a short position coming into the day, that was quickly closed out at the open. The bulls made a big move today and that

  • My Swing Trading Approach By adding a long position yesterday to the portfolio, it balances out the short position that I am also carrying into the day from last week. I’ll look to aggressively add 1 to 2 new long positions in the early going.   Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – A very dull session for the

  • My Swing Trading Approach I added a short position on Friday, it hasn’t done anything for me to this point, and with futures pointing higher, I’ll likely have to get out and get back on the long side. Right now it is pretty fluid, so the idea that the market could close the gap at
