08/18 – ETF Trading – SPY, SDS, FXI, FXP

The market rebounded yesterday, generating several short etf trading opportunities. Consider taking a short trading position in SPY or FXI should either etf close higher today.

If you’re unable to short SPY or FXI, take a long trading position in the inverse etfs – SDS or FXP. However, follow the etf trading signals for SPY and FXI. SDS and FXP are double inverse etfs – please trade carefully.

SPY – The SPDR® S&P 500® ETF is a fund that, before expenses, generally corresponds to the price and yield performance of the S&P 500 Index.

SDS – ProShares UltraShort S&P500 seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to twice (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the S&P500® Index.

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

FXP – ProShares UltraShort FTSE/Xinhua China 25 seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to twice (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index.

We may take up to 3 trading positions over the next couple of days. Our first position is 1/6 of our total trading amount. Our second position is 1/3 of our total trading amount. Our third trading position is 1/2 of our total trading amount. You could also take positions in a 20-30-50 ratio.

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

Assuming we get into the trade, our exit signals (for both SPY and FXI) are triggered when the closing price for either is lower than it’s MA(5), or – for a potentially larger gain – when the RSI(2) is less than 30. Exit the leveraged trades on these signals, too.

06/25 – ETF Trading – Loss on FXI, FXP

Our etf exit signals for FXI finally triggered yesterday and we took a small loss on our short trade. We lost .39% shorting FXI and we lost 4.01% on the leveraged trade in FXP.

We make a lot of winning etf trades, but, unfortunately, not all of them.
