08/31 – ETF Trading – SPY, SH, SDS

SPY closed higher yesterday (SH and SDS closed lower), enough to trigger taking our third and final trading position. Now we’ll wait for our exit signals to trigger.

Our short exit signals for SPY are triggered when the closing price for SPY is lower than it’s 5 day moving average, or – for a potentially larger gain – when the RSI 2 is less than 30.

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.

All etf trades are at the market close. Please trade responsibly.
