SPDRs S&P 500 (SPY)

Swing Trade Approach: Good day for profit taking, taking half of my position off in UBER at $34.27 for a +13.7% profit, and Beyond Meat (BYND) at $94.57 for a 8% profit. In both cases, I’ll let the rest of the position ride out. I added one additional long position, and still have a number

Swing Trade Approach: Took off half my position in Baidu (BIDU) at $140.29 for a +9% profit, and will let the rest ride. Also closed out all together my positions in Lowe’s (LOW) and Take Two Interactive (TTWO) for +2% and +3% in profits respectively. The profits are piling up and the rally in the market is quite amazing as the bulls managed

Swing Trade Approach: Took half my position off the table in McDonalds (MCD) for a quick 4.1% profit. I’m looking at this point for obvious reasons to close out a trade. As good as this rally has been, I don’t want to be a person who doesn’t take advantage of an amazing market rally and squander

Swing Trade Approach: Took some small gains off the table of trades Amgen (AMGN) and Starbucks (SBUX) that simply wasn’t providing enough return for the risk I was taking.

Swing Trade Approach: I mean, the market gives little incentive to those looking to short this market, so it is hard to have any sizable short presence in this market. I have a few positions, but I am by and large, very long on this market. I’m looking for reasons to book gains at this

Swing Trade Approach: Nearly three days of extremely dull price action. I don’t have high hopes for that changing tomorrow. Essentially what you have is a market that only pushes higher on the Fed’s “Not QE4”. China trade news, for now is out of the way, and the market is simply in a holding pattern.

Swing Trade Approach: Here’s the thing, if you get in on a day like today, where the market was contained, pretty much, in a five point range, you aren’t playing for today, but for the expectation that the market is going higher in the days ahead and you don’t want to find yourself chasing a

Swing Trade Approach: Plenty of trade setups out there still, surprising, considering how much this market has risen in the past few months. Volume still remains above average and actually building upon volume levels from Friday. Still, you must be keep sliding your stops on your existing trades higher, so as to not risk losing

My Swing Trades A bunch of trade setups triggered today in the Splash Zone. One in particular that was my favorite was the almost 6% pop in Trinity Industries (TRN). Still waiting for Splunk (SPLK) to break out but long last it looks like it is falling apart without ever the chance of breaking out of the continuation triangle
