Weekly Trading Summary — Week 27 of 2026
❊ Introduction.
Welcome to my weekly swing trading journal — A transparent review of my trading week.
My focus is on a curated list of CANSLIM and/or high-performing Stocks.
This is not financial advice but educational only, please do your own research.
❊ Market Environment.
The market seems Hostile as both indexes are contracting after April-June rally but I see it more in a push-pull mode. Techs pulling down with all their weight while almost all the rest is pushing up and with some sectors clearly trending right now like Financials and Healthcare. This translates in a contraction which will last I think until things are sorted out in the Tech sector.
❊ Weekly Trading & Market Review.
➯ Monday 29 — S&P500 +1.18% ✧Nasdaq +2.25% ✧ Portfolio -1.41%
Futures are up this morning, the roller-coaster continues with a mix today of Iran war and job report week jitters. I got stopped out again from ARM but after mid day price action and missing the best entry because I was not available at that moment, I still decided to enter a bit later and ended the day in positive territory.
My trade in SNEX which was doing well so far got completely destroyed today. A 14%+ decline erased all the 10 days previous gains. The trade is now near BE levels and this explains alone the negative performance of today while the indexes did well.
➯ Tuesday 30 — S&P500 +0.79% ✧Nasdaq +1.68% ✧ Portfolio +2.23%
Futures are up for a second day in a row, which is worth noting during the choppy times we live. Thinking of this, I went looking at Nasdaq and S&P daily charts, something I definitely should do more often, and finally saw the picture. Both are contracting inside a triangle on a closing basis with today’s close at top in both of them. The chances are great that Thursday anticipated NFP could be the catalyst for a breakout, the only thing we don’t know is the direction.
➯ Wednesday 1 July — S&P500 -0.22% ✧Nasdaq -1.54% ✧ Portfolio -2.45%
Futures slightly down this morning near -0.3% for both indexes which is expected as we are touching the top of the contraction triangle in both Nasdaq and S&P. We have more downside potential than upside today so I expect a down day before we eventually get the NFP catalyst tomorrow for a breakout. At the end of the day the story repeats again, Techs finished off while all the rest was on. I decided to close ARM and STX as they where around breakeven and also because I see more downside potential than the contrary in a lot of other stocks. BAND is being an exception so far as it has been doing well since my entry. SNEX has recovered a bit so I will keep only these 2 before NFP.
➯ Thursday 2 — S&P500 +0% ✧Nasdaq -1.61% ✧ Portfolio -2.17%
Futures were slightly up around 0,2% but quickly turned negative during the morning. My protective move of yesterday to close ARM and STX seems now a good decision, and while NFP numbers could move everything up, my sentiment right now is that we are going to see lower numbers in a lot of growth stocks.
Futures turned positive 5 mins before NFP, became clearly positive after but we had a mixed open between the Techs and other sectors, again. My though of this morning was right as the majority of my top 55 stocks are in the red today and some got hit quite hard. Still not a broad market selloff as only 3 sectors are in the red, Communications, Discretionary and Techs which is of course leading to the downside.
Interestingly SPX is glued to the upside of its contraction triangle while the Nasdaq is at the exact opposite.
Both STX and ARM reached their stop loss levels so my close of yesterday was perfectly fine. I moved that risk into SIMO, and MKSI where my entries were according to my setup. Still, they traded near my stop loss intraday so after that and studying also ARM, where my entries were also premature, I have learned that I must be more careful and precise with my entries, so I have added some refinement that is now part of my process.
❊ Small changes to the dashboard.
I have reduced the list of stocks to 55 to limit my focus and my entries on the strongest stocks. I have also added a new chart to track my edge, line that is heavy to lift up for now but I’m not really worried yet. On that same chart I also track the evolution of my trades from Entry to Exit. This is not only nice to have but it will keep a trace of how my trades evolved to eventually see some recurring pattern like having a stock 30% in profit to only close it at break even like it happened with STX. I see now BAND turning at that exact level so this is something I will clearly watch closely and see if there is something to learn from it.
It was quite a difficult week to trade and despite the negative results, I added clarity to my process, so a positive week for me.
