Shorting Stocks

My Swing Trading Approach I have been a little more conservative with my approach here. I have plenty of swing-trades in the portfolio – all with profits, but am somewhat hesitant to add more to the portfolio with as overbought as this market currently is. Not that I won’t going forward, but it needs to

My Swing Trading Approach At this stage, I am quite happy with the stocks I have in the portfolio. I am looking to play it cautious here, as I do not want to stock pile too many positions here. I’ll raise my stop-loss on existing trades. With low volume market conditions, I’m not going to

Bears are certainly losing their grip on this market here, and the bulls are running in a low volume trading environment.  Target those trade setups that offer above average volume.

I am optimistic, the bulls will try to put together a sustainable move here going forward and will add more positions as long as the market is a willing

The market is recovering nicely today. I was forced out of my one lone short position I carried over from yesterday. 

My Swing Trading Approach I have one short position. I plan to play it cautious here. If the bulls choose to rally, the market today, I will look to add some long exposure, but plan, for now, to keep the short position as long as possible. Some technical damage on the SPX chart warrants that

My Swing Trading Approach Considering what the market does with the current consolidation pattern, a breakdown may warrant some short exposure. I may have some opportunity on the dip buy, but overall, a conservative approach to the long side will likely be necessary today.  Indicators
