Swings..

I said I closed some swings before the FEDs, well I've closed all of them! and it turns out that since the FED cut interest they all kept going up, but I have no regrets about closing them.

I'll show you a winner and a loser just so you'd get in proportions how my swing trading looks like, I usually go only long in market condition as this (going up!), I look for strong stocks, that doubled at least the last year, and I try to join them when they make a new higher low.

BIDU +13%(best from my swings hehe I'm just showing off all of the others did like 4-7%):

CPHD -2.73%

The market is going random!

First of all I'd like to admit that I don't get the stock market sometimes, today for example I started -200$ on my swings, and after about 25 minutes in I was up already, I'm not sure how can it be but.. I'm happy anyways :)

Today I went to a wedding so I didn't trade, only to come back after hours and see that AAPL is going +11$ after market, so my immediate thought was "hmm, I wonder if it hit my price target.." and it did, my target was 180$ and the stock is up to 185.9, so I just sold my position as described in the following screen shot:

Weired day today, but I'm happy I've got to earn some bucks after all of the harsh time that the market has put us through.

Swinging again!

After almost half a year of only day trading and mainly losing money, I'm glad I decided to mix it with swing trading as I think my day trading became more controllable and the less I trade the more quality I find and make more money.

VSEC did great for me today!

I hope my swing trading will improve with time, now that I'm posting I'll share my success and mistakes as I like learning from other people. just so you know I trade des woodruf style, after watching his videos I was inspired by the simplicity he put things on and a week after watching his videos I opened my own trading account :)
