ETF Trading – TIP, GLD, FXE

Nice move on TIP, yesterday. You took your gains on the close after holding the etf for just 2 days!

GLD and FXE moved higher yesterday. You should be into one long unit if you’re trading these etfs. Wait to take your gains on the exit strategies found in High Probability ETF Trading.

No other trading signals have triggered.  Let’s wait on a pullback for some more long entry points.

This weekend, I hope to give you a monthly wrap-up of the stock trades we made this month.

These trades are based on the strategies found in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading.

• 12/21 - ETF Trading - FXI, SPY Good morning. Though the main market indices moved higher on Friday, FXI did not.

SPY was on our watch list Friday; however, our entry signal......

ETF Trading – USO, SCO, TIP, GLD, FXE

Wow – nice gains on SCO! Shorting USO also produced gains when using the RSI exit strategy.

TIP continued to pull back yesterday – we’re into the second long unit.

GLD and FXE also moved lower yesterday. You should be into your first long unit if you’re trading these etfs. GLD traders should also consider UGL.
