Swing Trading Strategy: Tell me more about these ‘limit downs’? So President Trump has a press conference, says some good feeling things, the market rallies, now, what if, and bear with me a second, what if we limit up tomorrow?

Swing Trading Strategy: A scary market indeed! These are by far uncertain times for the stock market, bond market, currency markets, let me think, what else? Oh yes, commodities too.
