10/15 – ETF Trading – Market Euphoria

10/14 – ETF Trading – Still No Trades

Even with the flat close yesterday, this stock market remains overbought (see the chart of SPY I’ve posted). As such, I have no new etf trades to suggest.

I know our trading system can be boring at times, but patience is our goal. We’ll wait for a stock market pull-back to trigger some new entry signals.

So why not go short here if the market is so overbought? Our rules tell us to short an etf only when the etf price is less than it’s 200 day moving average.
