10/16 – ETF Trading – GLD, SLV, UGL, AGQ

Good morning. Yesterday’s market action gave us some trading signals and potential trade entry points.

Put GLD and SLV on your watch list today. Take an initial position should these move lower today. For a leveraged trade, consider UGL and AGQ. All trades are at the market close.

All of the signals and strategies I use for etf trading are found in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading. 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.

Join me every day as I offer new etf trading ideas for you to follow.

ETF Trading – EWT, EWC, GLD

Three more winning trades! EWT, EWC and GLD all moved higher and we took our gains on our exit signals.

Personally, I like the RSI exit signal since it allows for a bigger gain in the trade. However, the RSI signal keeps you “in the trade” a bit longer than the MA(5) exit signal.

Learn more about these exit strategies in the book by Larry Connors: High Probability ETF Trading.

No new entry signals have triggered. Have a great weekend!

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.

• XLE
• GLD

Consider long positions in these should they move lower today.
