11/20 – ETF Trading – EWH, SPY, SSO

Good morning. Yesterday, EWH moved lower and you took your initial position in the trade.

Should EWH move lower today, take a second position in the trade. 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!

For suggestions on how to scale-in to the trade, please review these strategies. We scale-in with 3 positions for the trades on this site.

New etf trading ideas today include SPY, and for the leveraged trader, SSO. Take an initial position in one of these should they move lower today.

SPY seeks to correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P 500 Index.

ProShares Ultra S&P500 – SSO – seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to twice (200%) the daily performance of the S&P 500® Index.

Join me everyday to follow these etf trading signals. All of the signals and strategies I use for etf trading are found in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading. His etf trading 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!

11/18 – ETF Trading – No Trades Today – Scale-in Strategies

Good morning. My stock screener is telling me that we have no etf trading opportunities today. We’ll wait for a stock market pull-back to trigger some new entry signals.

We had a great one-day trade on USO and/or UCO – see yesterday’s post. We took only one position in the trade, yet there are times when we’ll want to scale-in to a trade – sometimes up to 3 to 4 additional positions. And each position is a bit larger than the previous position as the etf price moves lower. Larry Connors has a great summary of these strategies which you can review – I think you’ll enjoy it.

All of the 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.
