Summary
As a follow up on last week's podcast episode where Ryan talked about increasing position sizes, this week, he talks about increasing the dollar size of swing-trades when the value of the account increases as well.

| 0:47.0 | shareplanner.com's swing train in the stock market. In today's episode is going to be a follow-on |
| 0:51.9 | to last week's episode. And so if you remember last week's |
| 0:55.1 | episode and if you haven't watched it, definitely go back and listen to it because I think it'll be |
| 0:58.5 | a helpful primer for this episode here today. Last episode, I talked about how in my swing |
| 1:04.8 | trading, I have changed my position sizes from 12.5% which had been really the longstanding a percentage that I had put |

| 1:49.4 | I'm not saying that's necessarily the right recipe for everybody, |
| 1:53.4 | but I find that for most people that it works pretty good, |
| 1:56.4 | helps you keep your emotion straight because you can have a really good day swing trading |
