Trading Plan

My Swing Trading Strategy Yesterday was a real clown act by the market. I originally closed out my position in SDS for a 0.6% profit, only to have jump right back in the trade later in the day following the Trump Tweet. Right now, I have one staple play and one short position.  Indicators Volatility

My Swing Trading Strategy My Long position SDS which provides a 2:1 inverse return of SPY did marvelously yesterday, and helped deflect some of the losses in the two positions I was stopped out of, due to Jerome Powell’s unbelievably and disastrous presser. Seriously, can we end these senseless press conferences already? It’s a dumpster fire every time.

My Swing Trading Strategy I booked profits in Nvidia (NVDA) yesterday for +4%. Looking back, I was very aggressive about taking profits at the open, but I did so, because I was not overly confident that it could hold on to the premarket strength, and seemed like a solid candidate for a gap and fade (which

Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – VIX sold for two straight days, and 6.8% yesterday alone, with the potential to see a retest of 12.00 in the very near future. However, with that

My Swing Trading Strategy I closed out one of my trades yesterday that simply wasn’t doing anything for me and was simply wavering far too much due to the low volume, summer trading. However, I added one additional trade to the portfolio and looking to ride my two positions that I currently have, to higher

My Swing Trading Strategy The market decided to throw a temper-tantrum on Friday, with above average volume, and sell-off that wiped out one of my long positions. Should the market want to shake off the sell-off, I am more than open to adding a new long position, however, I am also poised to short this
