9/30 – ETF Trading – FXI, USO, UCO

Good morning. We’re still in our etf trades with FXI, USO, and UCO.

Our etf trading strategy is to buy additional positions should any of these etfs move lower than our initial entry price. Otherwise, our exit signals are a closing price greater than MA(5) or the RSI(2)>70. It’s your call on which exit signal to use.

All of these trades are based on the strategies found in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading. All trades are at the market close.

• ETF Trading - EWT, EWC, GLD Three more winning trades! EWT, EWC and GLD all moved higher and we took our gains on our exit signals. Personally, I like the RSI exit signal since it allows for a bigger gain in the trade. However, the RSI signal keeps you "in the trade" a bit longer than......
• ETF Trading - TIP, USO, SCO, GLD, FXE The signals for TIP triggered yesterday - we're into the first long unit. USO closed below it's MA(5). Per the rules we've been following, this resulted in a losing trade (it's High Probability ETF Trading - not "guaranteed results" trading). Another exit strategy to consider is to exit the trade......
• 02/02 - ETF Trading - EWH, EWZ, SPY, SSO Markets closed higher yesterday and triggered our exit signals for EWH and EWZ - unfortunately for us, at a loss. We still have full trading positions or SPY and/or SSO. Should the market move higher today, we will be able to take our gains! Our exit signals are triggered when......

9/29 – ETF Trading – FXI, EWW, USO, UCO, XLU, UPW

Good morning. We took trading gains yesterday as half of our etf stock picks from last Thursday (9/24) triggered their exit signals. All of these etf trades are based on the strategies found in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading. All trades are at the market close.

Here’s where you should be:

FXI, EWW – Country ETFs: These moved higher yesterday, and we took our gains on EWW – a nice 2.83% for sitting in the market for 2 days! We’ll patiently wait for FXI to make a move.

USO, UCO – Commodity ETFs: These both moved higher yesterday, but not enough to trigger our etf trading exit signals.

XLU, UPW – Sector ETFs: These both moved higher yesterday and we took our gains. We took only a small .76% gain for XLU, but it’s still a gain. For UPW, we took a gain of 1.76%. Again, these gains are for sitting in the market for just 2 days.

So we’re left with FXI, USO, and UCO. Our etf trading strategy is to buy additional positions should any of these etfs move lower than our initial entry price. Otherwise, our exit signals are a closing price greater than MA(5) or the RSI(2)>70. It’s your call on which exit signal to use.

• ETF Trading - SLV, EWJ, EWY Nice move on SLV yesterday (AGQ, too)! Too bad we didn't get into this trade last Friday. If you got into the trade intraday, take your stock trading gains at the market close today provided the stock price moves above it's 5 day moving average. EWJ started a small move.......
• 10/01 - ETF Trading - FXI, USO, UCO Wow! We took some big gains on USO and UCO, yesterday. Our gain on USO: +6.54%. Our gain for UCO: +11.99%. Recall that we took our entry positions at the market close on 9/24. For FXI, the closing price moved lower than our entry price, so you added a second......
• ETF Trading - USO, SCO There are no new etf trading opportunities to suggest today. We're patiently waiting for the stock market to change course and provide us with new stock trading opportunities. We're also patiently waiting to take our gains on USO and/or SCO. Take your gains when the closing price of USO closes......
