Our trading strategy is to scale in with up to three 3 trading positions, but we’ll patiently wait for the market to present the trading opportunities. Take a second trading position today should GLD close lower than our entry price – the same for UGL. All trades are at the market close. Please trade responsibly.

Otherwise, our exit signals are triggered when the etf price is greater than it’s MA(5), or – for a potentially larger gain – when the RSI(2) is greater than 70.

Join me everyday to follow these etf trading signals. All of the signals and strategies I use for etf trading are found 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. 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.

Once we trade, we don’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. Larry Connors has a great summary of these strategies which you can review here.

We’ll scale in with up to three 3 positions. So, take a second trading position should GLD close lower today – the same for UGL. All trades are at the market close. Please trade responsibly.

Otherwise, our exit signals are triggered when the etf price is greater than it’s MA(5), or – for a potentially larger gain – when the RSI(2) is greater than 70.

Put GLD on your watch list. Take an initial position should this etf close lower today. GLD has been down 4 days in a row, and looks ready for a rebound. For a leveraged trade on GLD, consider UGL.

GLD – The investment seeks to replicate the performance, net of expenses, of the price of gold bullion.

UGL – The investment will seek to replicate, net of expenses, twice the performance of gold bullion as measured by the U.S. Dollar p.m. fixing price for delivery in London.

All trades are at the market close. Please trade responsibly.
