03/17 – ETF Trading – Gains on GLD, UGL

Nice gains on our trade! Markets closed higher and triggered our exit signals for GLD and UGL. We gained 2.11% on GLD and 4.11% on UGL.

Our exit signals were triggered when the etf price moved higher than it’s MA(5), or – for the larger gain – when the RSI(2) moved above 70. We use the latter on our etf trades here.

All trades were at the market close. Updated charts posted below.
