10/17 – ETF Trading – USO, SCO

USO closed higher Friday, enough to trigger taking a second short position. Take a third and final short trading position only if the closing price of USO moves higher from here.

Follow the signals for USO to make the third long and final leveraged trade for SCO.

Otherwise, we’ll just wait for our etf exit signal to trigger. Our exit signal is triggered when the RSI 2 is less than 30. You’ll exit the leveraged trade in SCO following this same signal for USO.

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