Volatility Index (VIX)

My Swing Trading Approach Once again, yesterday was a day of day-trades for me. I faded the early market intraday bounce yesterday twice, First time, I was quickly stopped out for a small loss, and the second time I profited, allowing me to be profitable overall on the day, despite a market sell-off. Today, I

My Swing Trading Approach I took a day-trade in SPXU yesterday for a +4% profit, after I was knocked out of my two long positions at the open. Sitting in cash now, and would obviously like to still be in $SPXU, but I would simply be chasing it to get back in here. Also, with

My Swing Trading Approach I'm coming into today with two long positions, following a 100% cash position at the start of Friday.

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 plan to let the stop-losses in my existing long positions do their work, while my one short position should help to mitigate any of their losses. A major sell-off today that would put price back into the gap from Wednesday's price action and would likely stir the bears to start
