12/2 – ETF Trading – No Trades Today

Good morning. My stock screener is telling me that we have no etf trading opportunities today. Markets are moving toward an overbought condition. We’ll wait for a stock market pull-back to trigger some new entry signals.

Once we get an etf trading signal, we won’t always take just one trading position. There are times when we’ll scale-in to the trade – sometimes up to 3 to 4 additional positions. And each position gets a bit larger than the previous position as the etf price moves lower. Larry Connors has a great summary of these strategies which you can review – I think you’ll enjoy it.

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

• 10/12 - ETF Trading - No Trades Today The broader market closed ever so slightly higher yesterday, leaving the S & P 500 in an over-bought condition (see the updated chart for SPY below - notice the high RSI(2) reading).
