My Swing Trading Strategy
This has been by far the most difficult month of trading that I have ever seen. I mean, when you have a Twitter account that can bring ruin to the financial markets, it makes predictability a lot more difficult. The month of May started with a tweet fanning the flames of the already Chinese and now is ending with a tweet starting a new trade war with Mexico.

Technology was the market winner yesterday followed by Staples and Industrials. Energy continues its free fall and possibly even challenge the December lows again at some point.
