ETF Stock Trading

12/15 – ETF Trading – No Trades Today

I have no etf trades to suggest today. The broader market fell yesterday, keeping SPY in an over-sold trading condition – see the RSI 2 in the updated chart posted below.

Since SPY and other index etfs are now trading below their 200 day moving averages, our etf trading signals are weighted toward making short trades. We’ll make no long trade for any etf below its 200 day moving average.

In the meantime, get a quick lesson on how to become a high probability trader in this article by Larry Connors. In it, he talks about his TPS trading strategy. TPS stands for Time, Price and Scale and has been the backbone of our ETF trading.

Get all the details of TPS trading and other etf swing trading strategies in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading. His TPS trading strategy has only a few rules and you’ll be able to back-test and apply the strategy on the next trading day.  See our results using these strategies.

12/12 – ETF Trading – No Trades Today

I have no trades to recommend for today. The broader market is in neutral territory (see the updated chart for SPY below and notice the RSI 2). And because the broader market is below its 200 day moving average, we’ll wait for a day or 2 of higher closes to trigger some new etf short trading signals. Our etf trading signals are now weighted toward shorting etfs since SPY and other index etfs are now trading below their 200 day moving averages.

Why trade etfs? John Nyaradi, in an article at TradingMarkets.com, shares his 8 Reasons to Trade ETFS and what they can do for your stock trading portfolio. You won’t ever buy another mutual fund!
