11/04 – ETF Trading – FXI, FXP

FXI closed higher for the second day in a row, generating an etf trading opportunity based on our etf trading signals. Consider taking a short position in FXI should the etf close higher today.

For a leveraged trade, consider FXP. FXP is a double inverse etf – please trade carefully. Use the etf trading signals for FXI to trade FXP.

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

FXP – ProShares UltraShort FTSE 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 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 FXI are triggered when the closing price for FXI is lower than it’s 5 day moving average, or – for a potentially larger gain – when the RSI 2 is less than 30. Trade FXP on the signals for FXI.

Learn why the FTSE China 25 Index Fund is now a good short etf trading opportunity in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading. 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. With easy to follow trading strategies, clear explanations, and years of tested results, there is no better place to start finding new trading edges than in High Probability ETF Trading. Get your copy today and be ready for the next trading session.

05/11 – ETF Trading – Loss on FXI, XPP

Our etf exit signal finally triggered for our trade in FXI. Unfortunately we took a loss of 1.17% in the trade. Our leveraged trade in XPP produced a loss of 2.53%. And though the loss is disappointing, recognize that our etf trading is “high probability” trading – not “guaranteed results” trading.

Our goal is to produce more winning trades versus losing trades. On that goal, we’re on track. Including the loss on this trade, we still have made 34 winning trades out of 45 trades in the last 12 months. That’s a winning percentage of over 75%. You can review all of our trades by month.

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

Learn more about the etf trading strategies we use here. They’re in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading. 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.
