11/30 – ETF Trading – EWH, FXI, IWM, UWM

Good morning. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving holiday.

To finish some business we left before the holiday, some of you had been waiting for EWH and the RSI(2)>70 exit signal. That signal triggered at the close last Wednesday, and you took a gain on the trade of 1.20%.

Today, put FXI and IWM on your watch list. For those looking for a leveraged trade on IWM, put UWM on your list as well. Buy any of these etfs at the market close should they move lower in price today. Please trade responsibly.

FXI seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 index.

IWM seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Russell 2000® Index.

ProShares Ultra Russell2000 – UWM – seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to twice (200%) the daily performance of the Russell 2000® Index.

Join me every day as I offer new etf trading ideas for you to follow.

11/24 – ETF Trading – EWH, SPY, SSO

We took our gains yesterday at the market close! What a nice way to kick-off the holiday weekend. We’ll pick-up the etf trading activity again on Monday, November 30th. Have a great Thanksgiving!

EWH gained 1.03% , SPY gained 1.27% , and SSO gained 2.59% as these etfs moved higher than their 5 day moving average and – except for EWH – the RSI(2) moved above 70. Recall that we took our initial positions at the close on Thursday and Friday. You still may be trading EWH to exit on the RSI(2)>70 signal.

11/23 – ETF Trading – EWH, SPY, SSO

Good morning. On Friday, EWH moved lower and you took your second position in the trade. Should EWH move lower today, take your third position in the trade.

SPY (and SSO) moved lower on Friday and you took your first trading position in one of these. Take a second trading position should these move lower today.

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!
