This swing trading is going well for me, almost up 20% in less than 2 weeks. Most at risk 0.3% believe it or not, then I added on and only risked paper profits, at a maximum of 50% returned paper profits.
Congrats on your successes. Just remember you are exploring this method during a very "interesting" period regarding volatility and overall market movements. Things MIGHT not be as they seem during the dog-days of summer or other times of subdued and muted market movement and activity. Im not throwing a wet blanket here, just pointing out the importance of keeping in context. Trade On!
I agree, it is not often you can earn over 700 points in less than 5 days. I do prefer the slower chop up tho since I can use tighter stops and larger position sizing, which is where I have earned most of my cash before.
Looks like they are getting ready for something big to touch down...bigger than the last big drop that took everyone by surprise!!! Executives are falling over themselves to buy back stock — just not with their own money Vickers' overall Insider Index, a measure of insider buying by corporate executives, went negative this week for the first time since August 2017. "Insiders are clearly in a cautious mood as stock prices have quickly recovered ground in what many felt was a healthy and needed correction. Indeed, all the major insider sentiment barometers tracked by Vickers have moved in a bearish manner," Argus Research analyst and quantitative portfolio strategist David Coleman writes. Corporate executives aren't using their own personal funds on average to buy their company's stock during the market swoon, according to a research firm. Companies have bought back $113.4 billion of their own shares this month, good for the highest total since April 2015, according to market data firm TrimTabs. In contrast, Argus Research said its Vickers' overall Insider Index, a measure of insider buying by corporate executives, went negative this week for the first time since August 2017.
As soon as more rate hike talk came around the 10 year rose and equities fell....like I said the market is crying and crying that it doesn't see higher rates....these low rates are a gift to the market, it's been too much of a gift for too long of time period going on more than a decsde, time tonreallt start hiking rates....rates should already be at 4-5%, historical low rates are already causing more harm than good with the fed to blame for the next tailwind in the markets.
