9/29 – ETF Trading – FXI, EWW, USO, UCO, XLU, UPW

Good morning. We took trading gains yesterday as half of our etf stock picks from last Thursday (9/24) triggered their exit signals. All of these etf trades are based on the strategies found in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading. All trades are at the market close.

Here’s where you should be:

FXI, EWW – Country ETFs: These moved higher yesterday, and we took our gains on EWW – a nice 2.83% for sitting in the market for 2 days! We’ll patiently wait for FXI to make a move.

USO, UCO – Commodity ETFs: These both moved higher yesterday, but not enough to trigger our etf trading exit signals.

XLU, UPW – Sector ETFs: These both moved higher yesterday and we took our gains. We took only a small .76% gain for XLU, but it’s still a gain. For UPW, we took a gain of 1.76%. Again, these gains are for sitting in the market for just 2 days.

So we’re left with FXI, USO, and UCO. Our etf trading strategy is to buy additional positions should any of these etfs move lower than our initial entry price. Otherwise, our exit signals are a closing price greater than MA(5) or the RSI(2)>70. It’s your call on which exit signal to use.

9/28 – ETF Trading – FXI, EWW, USO, UCO, XLU, UPW

Good morning. Friday’s stock trading action gave us just a few opportunities to scale into our etf trades. Here’s where you should be:

You should be long in the first position for any of the following etfs that I listed last Thursday (9/24).

FXI, EWW – Country ETFs: These moved higher on Friday, but not enough to trigger our exit signals. We’ll patiently wait for the market to make a move. (The highlighted bar in the charts shows today’s etf trading action.)

USO, UCO – Commodity ETFs: A bit of divergence here with USO moving a bit higher and UCO moving a bit lower. Per our rules, that means holding steady on USO and buying an additional position on UCO. However, in my own opinion, when there is divergence between an index etf and a leveraged copy of the index etf, I would follow the signals from the index etf – USO in this example. So, since USO moved higher on Friday, we’re invested only in the intial positions we took for USO and UCO on Thursday.

XLU, UPW – Sector ETFs: These moved lower on Friday. You should have added a second trading position in these etfs.

Our etf trading strategy is to buy additional positions should any of these etfs move lower than our initial entry price. Otherwise, our exit signals are a closing price greater than MA(5) or the RSI(2)>70. It’s your call on which exit signal to use.

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

9/24 – ETF Trading – FXI, EWW, USO, UCO, XLU, UPW

Good morning. Yesterday’s market sell-off gave us some trading signals and possible  entry points.

Today we’ve got country etfs, commodity etfs and sector etfs to potentially trade. Per the strategies of High Probability ETF Trading, country etfs are the most consistent in results.

For country etfs, put FXI and EWW on your watch list today, and take an intial position should either one of these close lower.

The iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund (FXI) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index.

The iShares MSCI Mexico Investable Market Index Fund (EWW) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of publicly traded securities in the Mexican market, as measured by the MSCI Mexico Investable Market Index.

For commodity etfs, put USO on your watch list today and take an initial position should it close lower. You can also trade the leveraged etf UCO.

USO seeks to reflect the performance, less expenses, of the spot price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light, sweet crude oil.

ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil (UCO) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to twice (200%) the daily performance of the Dow Jones—UBS Crude Oil Sub-Index.

Finally, a sector etf to trade is XLU. Take an intial position should this close lower today. For a leveraged play, consider UPW.

The Utilities Select Sector SPDR (XLU) invests primarily in companies that produce, generate, transmit or distribute electricity or natural gas.

ProShares Ultra Utilities (UPW) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to twice (200%) the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Utilities IndexSM.

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