Volatility Index (VIX)

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

My Swing Trading Strategy Closed out my two short positions early yesterday, and flipped the script and added two long positions to my already existing long position. I may add one additional long position today, depending on how the market performs.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – It surprises me that the VIX isn’t dropping more than

My Swing Trading Strategy I added one additional long position to the portfolio yesterday, while keeping the two positions that I came into the day with – both of which are showing sizable gains with solid rallies yesterday despite the market selling off. I am open to adding another long position today if the pre-market

My Swing Trading Strategy I wasn’t too aggressive yesterday, as the market simply gapped and flat-lined the entire day. That has been the norm for gaps in the market of late. Very rarely do you see a strong push higher throughout the day. As a result, I only added one position yesterday and held on
