ETF Trading – AGG, EWT, EWC, GLD

AGG moved higher yesterday, and you took your gains at the market close!

EWT retreated yesterday. We’ll patiently wait for our exit signal in order to take our gains.

Among my “watch list” suggestions yesterday, EWC and GLD turned out to be the most promising. Perhaps you took your first long position in these at the market close.

All of these trades are based on the strategies found in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading.

EWT moved higher on Friday, but just 2 cents short of it’s MA(5). We’ll wait for our exit signal to trigger to take our gains.

Other ETFs to put on your watch list today include the following:

• EWJ
• EWH
• EWC
• XLE
• GLD

Consider long positions in these should they move lower today.

These trades are based on the strategies found in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading.

AGG, EWT

AGG moved higher yesterday. We will wait for our exit signals to trigger.

EWT moved lower yesterday, but only by a penny. Per the direction of High Probability ETF Trading, you should have taken your second long position.

But since the price of EWT declined only by a penny, on future stock trades, I think I might modify the rules by buying additional positions only on a price decline (or increase on a short sale) of x % (add your own criteria, here). For me, that might be 2.5%. Of course, I would miss the additional profits should the etf move higher today or tomorrow. Conversely, my limited investment is protected should the etf move lower over the next several days – and I would be able to buy-in at even lower prices.

Let me know your thoughts…
