My Swing Trading Approach
I added an inverse ETF on the S&P 500 yesterday (SPXU). Slightly underwater, but looking for this market to give back some of these steep gains from the past two weeks. I may add to my position by shorting additional ETFs should a market pullback take hold. Otherwise, I’ll close out the position and flip long.
Indicators
- Volatility Index (VIX) – Another small bounce of 5% on VIX to 19.07. The decline in VIX has been steep of late, and due for a sizable bounce here.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): No weakness showing up yet on the T2108 here. Holding its recent gains very well, and still posting a +50% reading.
- Moving averages (SPX): Broke below the 5-day moving average yesterday, but still holding the 10 and 20-day MA.

Sectors to Watch Today
Financials rallying over 12 of the last 13 trading sessions will face some weakness today following key earnings reports. Healthcare and Utilities are showing some signs of weakness here following yesterday’s trading session, while most of the other sectors are simply bull flagging.
My Market Sentiment
The resiliency of the bulls on this bounce has been impressive. Price action has rallied hard but facing strong resistance at the 2600 area. Also a bear wedge/bear flag in play too. A solid push through 2600 would confirm the continuation of this market rally.

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.
In this podcast episode, Ryan talks about how he uses profit multiples for taking profits on his swing-trades, and how not everyone of your trades that are winners will be 2:1 or 3:1 multiples of the amount that you risked on the trade.
