It didn’t take me much time this morning to add a new position, and I did so by shorting Hawaiian Electric (HE) at $28.44. The stock is forming a very nice head and shoulders pattern this morning, and the only drawback to this play is that it hasn’t broken the neckline of the aforementioned pattern. So that does increase my risk, but my reasons for seemingly ‘jumping the gun’ is to to keep risk tight in case this market does continue to rally, but provide my a hedge against my existing four long positions that I have (I also have a short position right now in BRO). 
Just because things are looking well-overbought, and a number of my indicators that I follow are showing the same thing, doesn’t mean I’m going to front run this market, in hopes of timing that reversal. Instead, I just want to curb my exposure as much as possible, tighten up long stops, etc .
Here’s the trade setup in HE.
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.
New traders often burden themselves with the need to make trading fun and exciting, when in reality successful swing trading is all about making it as boring as possible. In this podcast episode, Ryan explains why it is so crucial to make trading as boring and dull as possible and to avoid the need to make trading thrilling and adventurous, because the latter will keep success out of reach.
