Swing Trading S&P500

[hwsteele]

Have to head out now so I am adjusting the take profit to 889. This should be interesting!

 

[hwsteele]

Well got the extra 19 points. Wish I could have been there to watch it as it went past the 900 mark.
Total for today is: 25 points. Not bad i guess could have been better if i got up earlier.

good work

 

[hwsteele]

Went short at the break of 880 looking for 872

 

[hwsteele]

Moved stop to 875 and letting it ride for a while.

 

[hwsteele]

Back in at 874!

 

[hwsteele]

Wow what a slap in the face! I thought 875 would be safe and then the price turns around and hits me with 875.01!!!!! Went short again at 874 and got out at 870. That's five points from the first trade and four from the second.
Am waiting for 1:15 now.

 

[hwsteele]

Looking to go short again.

 

[hwsteele]

Wow broke to the up side in at 876

 

[hwsteele]

Moved stop to 877

 

[hwsteele]

Out of the trade with 1 point. That brings total for the day to: 10
Will look again at 1:45

 

[hwsteele]

Looking to go long again.

 

[hwsteele]

Long at 866 with a stop set at 859

 

[hwsteele]

And out for two at 868. I have to get ready to leave so I just wanted to close out.

 

[hwsteele]

Ok here was the spike up I was looking for. Looking to short to close.

 

[hwsteele]

short at 891 now looking for 865.

 

[hwsteele]

Well didn't get to 865 so the 3:59 time exit was hit. was taken out at 883 for 8 points. Total for day was 20. Not that great when you see how much the price moved today.
I really wish I could be home for the last hour of trading! Oh well life goes on right?

 

[hwsteele]

I'm waiting for the 1:00P.M. move...

 

[hwsteele]

In at 885 stop 891 target 875

 

[hwsteele]

Stopped out for a loss of six. Should have gotten out at 880 as that was the first line of support.
