My Swing Trading Strategy I added one additional trade yesterday, and will consider adding more today if the pre-market strength, following Jerome Powell’s comments holds up. I’ll also increase my stops on my current trades as well.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Rallied for the third straight day, despite the market finishing slightly in the green.
