My Swing Trading Approach
I will be looking to add 1-2 new positions to the portfolio as long as the early morning strength can sustain itself. Playing the rising trend-line off off the May lows, offers a great buying opportunity in this market.
Indicators
- VIX – Tested and rejected at the 50-day moving average yesterday. Looking for further downside today.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average): Pullback of 2% yesterday falls in line for the downside seen from the market of late. If the market bounces big today, I’ll be interested in how strong this indicator performs as well.
- Moving averages (SPX): Tested the 20-day moving average and successfully held it. Yesterday marked a 5/10 MA crossover to the downside.

Industries to Watch Today
Utilities continues to see a strong bounce in recent days, but I expect it to be short lived as it remains in a downtrend overall. Staples has formed an impressive base and consolidated nicely above its 50-day moving average. Expecting further upside. I still don’t trust the price action out of Energy or Financials. Discretionary, Technology and Healthcare remain my go-to sectors.
My Market Sentiment
SPX has pulled back 3 of the last 4 trading sessions, and the pullback, while on higher than average volume, appears to be a healthy one that has taken price back to the rising trend-line off of the May lows and held. Now looking for the bounce for a bigger move higher.

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.
