09/28 – ETF Trading – IWM, RWM, TWM

IWM closed higher yesterday, with an RSI 2 greater than 75. Should it close higher today, consider taking your first short position in the etf trade.

IWM – The investment seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Russell 2000 index.

Can’t short IWM? Consider trading the inverse etf RWM or the double inverse etf TWM – please trade carefully.

RWM – ProShares Short Russell2000 seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the Russell 2000® Index.

TWM – The investment seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, which correspond to twice the inverse of the daily performance of the Russell 2000 index.

Focusing on the inverse etfs, 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 RWM are triggered when the closing price for RWM is higher than it’s 5 day moving average, or – for a potentially larger gain – when the RSI 2 is greater than 70. Trade TWM similarly.

Learn why the Russell 2000 index 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.
