My Swing Trading Approach
I won’t rule out adding additional position or two to the portfolio today, but I’m not looking to pile on in this market. Manage the trades that I have, trim the ones that don’t provide a solid reason to keep, and raise the stops on the rest.
Indicators
VIX – Back below 10, but not seeing any heavy moves to the downside.
T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average): 73%. Unchanged yesterday.
Moving averages (SPX): Tested the 5-day moving average the last three days, and despite trading momentarily below it intraday, managed to close above the MA.

Industries to Watch Today
Consumer Defensive and Utilities still strong, but Technology reclaimed the top spot. Industrials doing next to nothing in recent days.
My Market Sentiment
Still bullish on this market. Not seeing huge price moves out of the market with daily price ranges quickly tightening.

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.
It's 2025 and we have for ourselves a stock market correction. I get that some people are calling it a stock market crash already, but that is certainly pre-mature and short-sighted. Let's call it for what it is right now, and that is a stock market correction. In this podcast episode, Ryan discusses how important it is to be risk managers in our trading and how we can weather the storms of the market and even profit from a stock market correction. This is an incredibly important podcast episode that you won't want to miss!
