Trading Plan

My Swing Trading Strategy I raised my stop-loss on SHOP on Friday to $351.09 on Friday and took profits there for a +2.2% profit. Not a huge gain, but by using a stop-loss it prevented a big loss. I also added one additional swing-trade on Friday. With today’s weakness I will likely play it careful

My Swing Trading Strategy I didn’t add any new long positions to the portfolio yesterday as the market wasn’t showing quality breadth or conviction that would be enough to lead me to increasing my long exposure. Today may be more of the same, if the bulls come out trying to give up its early morning

My Swing Trading Strategy I added two new long positions to the portfolio, both finishing in the green, and increasing my long exposure in the process. If I add more long exposure today it won’t be more than just one long position. So far, I have not seen any reason in this current market condition

My Swing Trading Strategy I reduced my exposure to the long side yesterday following a topsy-turvy trading session. I will look to add 1-2 new long positions today. No interest in shorting the market here as the market has not given me any real volume levels to work with to the downside.  Indicators Volatility Index

My Swing Trading Strategy I was stopped out of Twitter (TWTR) for a +4% profit yesterday. I hate getting stopped out, but it does signify a solid, disciplined, and well-executed trade. I added one additional trade, and may add another today depending on how the market performs, and whether it wants to continue the selling

My Swing Trading Strategy One new swing-trade was added yesterday to the portfolio, but didn’t increase my long exposure at all, as I was stopped out of one stock, and closed out another for performing so poorly. Neither loss was detrimental, but more about managing risk. I will look to add one additional long position

My Swing Trading Strategy I added one new trade to the portfolio yesterday, but in terms of adding more long exposure at this point, I may hold off, until I can see with a bit more certainty as to whether this market wants to challenge new all-time highs or not. For sure, I’ll be increasing

My Swing Trading Strategy I added two new trades to the portfolio yesterday. Having gotten out of SPXU on Tuesday was a sigh of relief, as yesterday’s rally in SPX would have otherwise wiped out my profits. On the flip side, I had to bail on my SBUX position yesterday due to a gap down

My Swing Trading Strategy I booked profits in SPXU yesterday for a 2.4% gain, and SQ for a 0.6% profit. I’ll look to add one or two new trades to the portfolio today.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – A very mellow 3.6% rise in the index on a day where the market was trying to sell

My Swing Trading Strategy I’m under the threat of a hurricane today, so that makes trading a little dicey for me today. Power could go out, internet/cell coverage could go down. As a result, my focus today will likely be to manage the existing positions and nothing else.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – A 6.2% pop
