10/09 – ETF Trading – No Trades Today

Good morning. Our stock trading entry signal did not trigger for EWY yesterday. As such, we did not enter the trade.

And, as I review my stock screener this morning, I have no new trades to recommend today. We’ll just patiently wait for the markets to present us with the signals for new etf trades. Patience, dear trader!

All of the stock screening signals and strategies I use are found in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading. The strategies have only a few rules and you’ll be able to back-test and apply the strategies to the next trading day. With easy to follow trading strategies, clear explanations, and years of tested results, there is no better place to start finding new trading edges than in High Probability ETF Trading. Get your copy today and be ready for the next trading session.

Have a great weekend!
