12/08 – ETF Trading – SPY, SH, SDS

SPY closed higher yesterday (SH and SDS closed lower), bumping up against the 200 day moving average and remaining in over-bought territory (see the RSI 2 chart below). We’re waiting for a sell-off to trigger our exit signals for our short trade in SPY.

Our short exit signals for SPY are triggered when the closing price for SPY is lower than its 5 day moving average, or – for a potentially larger gain – when the RSI 2 is less than 30. We’re following the latter.

If you’re trading the inverse etfs, our exit signals for SH are triggered when the closing price for SH is higher than its 5 day moving average, or – for a potentially larger gain – when the RSI 2 is greater than 70. Trade SDS similarly.

All etf trades are at the market close. Please trade responsibly.

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.
