07/19 – ETF Trading – A Gain and a Loss

A small gain on our S&P trade: our etf exit signals triggered on Friday for SPY and SDS with the large market sell-off. We gained 1.12% shorting SPY. For the leveraged trade in SDS, we gained 1.92%.

Our etf exit signals triggered for XLU on Friday as well. We had a small loss of 0.13% shorting XLU. For the leveraged trade in SDP, we lost 0.07%.

All trades were at the market close. Review them with our monthly results. Friday’s charts are posted below.

I have no etf trading opportunities to suggest for today. The broader market is over-sold and under its 200 day moving average. A stock market rebound will trigger some new short etf trading signals.

07/16 – ETF Trading – XLU, SDP, SPY, SDS

The broader market ended flat yet again yesterday and is severely over-bought on a short term basis. Notice the high RSI(2) values for XLU and SPY in the charts below. There is no change in our positions.

We have a full short trading position in XLU and we’re just waiting for a stock market sell-off to trigger our etf exit signals. The leveraged trade is in SDP.

We also have a full short trading position in SPY. A stock market sell-off will trigger our etf exit signals. The leveraged trade is in SDS.

Our exit signals are triggered when the closing price for XLU or SPY is lower than it’s MA(5), or – for a potentially larger gain – when the RSI(2) is less than 30. We’re using the latter signal. You’ll exit the leveraged trades on these signals as well.

All etf trades are at the market close. Please trade responsibly. Have a great weekend!
