08/26 – ETF Trading – SPY, SH, SDS

We’re shorting SPY in this current trading session. You could also trade the inverse etfs – SH and/or SDS.

We have one trading position in our basket. SPY closed lower yesterday (SH & SDS higher), but not enough to trigger our exit signals. Updated charts are posted below.

We may scale into the trade with up to 3 positions. So, take a second trading position should SPY close higher than our entry price (SH and SDS would close lower).

Following our inverse etfs, our exit signals for SH are triggered when the closing price for SH is higher than it’s 5 day moving average, or – for a potentially larger gain – when the RSI 2 is greater than 70. Trade SDS similarly.
