09/05 – ETF Trading – Gain on SPY, SH, SDS

A nice gain on our short trade! Our exit signals for SPY triggered with Friday’s sell-off and we took a gain of 2.58% at the close. The inverse trades in SH and SDS yielded gains of 2.59% and 4.95% respectively.

Our goal is to produce more winning trades versus losing trades. On that goal, we’re still on track. We have made 19 winning trades out of 23 over the past 12 months. That’s a winning percentage of over 82%!

Markets are closed today for Labor Day. We’ll wait for tomorrow and a market correction to trigger some new etf trading opportunities.

His etf trading strategies have just a few simple rules and you’ll be able to back-test and apply the strategies to the next trading day.

08/15 – ETF Trading – Loss on XLE, DIG

Our etf exit signal finally triggered for this agonizing trade in XLE. Unfortunately we took a loss in the trade – 10.23%. The leveraged etf trade in DIG yielded a loss of 19.82%.

This is our first loss since May, but has been, by far, the worst trade made in the 2+ years of making trades. Our etf trading is “high probability trading” – not “guaranteed trading.” But it’s still hard to take a loss – emotionally as well as financially. Larry Connors has a great article about dealing with losses.

I have no new etf trading opportunities to suggest today. We’ll wait for a broader market trend to offer new etf trading opportunities.
