11/16 – ETF Trading – USO, UCO

Good morning. On Friday, USO moved lower and you took your initial position in the trade. For those playing the leveraged trade, you took the initial position in UCO. We did not enter the trade on EWZ, as it moved higher on Friday.

Should USO/UCO move lower today, take the second position in the trade. Otherwise, our exit signals are triggered when the etf price is greater than it’s MA(5), or – for a potentially larger gain – when the RSI(2) is greater than 70. All trades are at the market close. Please trade responsibly!

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”). USO issues units that may be purchased and sold on the NYSE Arca.

ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil – UCO – seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to twice (200%) the daily performance of the Dow Jones—UBS Crude Oil Sub-Index.
