05/27 – ETF Trading – USO, SCO, FXI, FXP

The market is moving stongly higher this morning, generating some good shorting opportunities. Consider taking a short etf position in USO or FXI should either close higher today and its RSI(2) > 90.

If you’re unable to short either etf, consider taking the inverse etf – SCO and FXP. However, follow the etf trading signals for USO and FXI. These are double inverse etfs – please trade carefully.

USO – The United States Oil Fund, LP (“USO”) is a domestic exchange traded security designed to track the movements of light, sweet crude oil (“West Texas Intermediate”).

SCO – ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Crude Oil seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to twice (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of The Dow Jones—UBS Crude Oil Sub-IndexSM.

FXI – The iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index.

FXP – ProShares UltraShort FTSE/Xinhua China 25 seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to twice (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index.

We may take a second trading position in the next day or so should USO or FXI close higher and its RSI(2) > 94.

Otherwise, our exit signals are triggered when the closing price for USO or FXI is lower than it’s MA(5), or – for a potentially larger gain – when the RSI(2) is less than 30.

All trades are at the market close. Please trade responsibly. Charts for USO and FXI are live.
