For the most part, I am more of a swing & trend trader within my retirement accounts whereas I am a very active trader (swing trading & occasionally day trading) in my trading account. As such, I will usually give the swing trades in my retirement accounts wider stops while targeting higher price targets & I’m less apt to try to game a quick counter-trend bounce off the early price targets as I might do in my trading account.

Although I am still net short equities (via sector & index ETFs), I’ve already started reducing short exposure over the last week or so & will continue to do so over the next week or two whether the market goes up or down. Essentially, I’m working my way towards a market neutral positioning (again, backing out positions that are not correlated with the stock market such as precious metals, bonds & commodities) while increasing my cash allocation whereby I will most likely start to scale into long positions for swing trades once it appears that a multi-week rally is likely.
