My Swing Trading Approach

Tighten my stops, and sit tight. The key here isn’t to fight the market but to wait for favorable market conditions for trading.

Indicators

VIX – Rose to 13.84 – or 25%. The highest closing since 8/18/17 and looks to push higher yet again today.
T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average): The lack of breadth in this market was clearly seen in this indicator with there being a slight negative return on Friday.
Moving averages (SPX): Tested the 5-day moving average yesterday, but held.

Industries to Watch Today

Every sector traded lower yesterday. Sectors like the Financials and Energy could see some major damage to their charts overall. Overall, I expect that if today’s selling holds the charts will show some technical damage.

My Market Sentiment

Price action is looking at a major gap lower that will break through the 5-day moving average, and test the 10-day moving average for the first time this year. Gaps in either direction have had a hard time remaining unfilled, but the bulls will have their work cut out for them on this one.

Swing Trading the Stock Market

Welcome to Swing Trading the Stock Market Podcast!

I want you to become a better trader, and you know what? You absolutely can!

Commit these three rules to memory and to your trading:
#1: Manage the RISK ALWAYS!
#2: Keep the Losses Small
#3: Do #1 & #2 and the profits will take care of themselves.

That’s right, successful swing-trading is about managing the risk, and with Swing Trading the Stock Market podcast, I encourage you to email me (ryan@shareplanner.com) your questions, and there’s a good chance I’ll make a future podcast out of your stock market related question.

Emotional trading will destroy one’s portfolio. Aiming to hit home runs with every trade is a sure sign that the trader is overly emotional and only cares about fast money. In this podcast episode Ryan explains how chasing after stocks like MicroStrategy (MSTR) without a plan for managing the risk can ultimately ruin a trader’s attempt at being a successful swing-trader.
