Volatility Index (VIX)

My Swing Trading Strategy No new positions added on Friday, instead I rode my current positions all day  long.

My Swing Trading Strategy One additional trade was added to the portfolio on Wednesday, however, I am a little hesitant in adding another trade today as the market is showing weakness ahead of the bell with a strong jobs number.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – Another decline on Wednesday, this time to the tune of 2.8%

My Swing Trading Strategy One additional trade was added yesterday, and while the futures are pointing higher, this morning, the ideal time to add another trade to the portfolio may be after the morning gap has been filled, as opening price levels have not been able to hang on as of late.  Indicators Volatility Index

My Swing Trading Strategy I added one additional long position on the dip yesterday which is off to a good start so far. I’m a little concerned by the extent of yesterday’s pullback and the fact that volume came in to support the selling late yesterday. I’ll hold off on adding any new positions in

My Swing Trading Strategy Currently holding on to two positions in the portfolio, and with the lowest volume seen in over a year in the market yesterday, I refrained from adding any new positions. I’ll look to add additional long exposure today, should the market show the desire to push higher.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) –

My Swing Trading Strategy I did not take any trades yesterday. The large gap up and subsequent gap fill, was tempting to short, but chose not to pounce on it, because I didn’t want to be squeezed by an afternoon rally (which eventually did happen). I am open to adding some long positions to the
