02/05 – ETF Trading – SPY, SSO

Wow, what a sell-off yesterday.

Put SPY on your watch list today. For a leveraged trade, consider SSO. Take your first position in the trade should these etfs move lower today. You can follow the trades with this simple etf trading worksheet I created.  All trades are at the market close. Please trade responsibly!

SPY – The investment seeks to correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P 500 Index.

SSO – The investment seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, which correspond to twice the daily performance of the S&P 500 index.

Join me everyday to follow the etf trading strategies of Larry Connors as detailed in his book: High Probability ETF Trading. With easy to follow etf 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.

Have a great weekend!
