Core ETF Short List Posted 9:20 EDT 9-27-16

by

Here is my go-to list when I looking for an inverse ETF to hedge my portfolio or take advantage of a market of sector sell-off.  Be aware there are ETF’s on the list that are 2 times and 3 times short.  ETF’s of this nature are meant for short term trades and should not be considered as long term positions.

I always recommend doing your due diligence on all ETF’s because they are not all created equally.  It is up to you know what your trading and its intended use.

Doug’s Core ETF List Posted 8:43 EDT 9-27-16

I spent about a year putting together an ETF list in an attempt to cover as many areas of the market as possible.  I researched each one and they were selected by overall volume, fee structure, diversification and several other aspects.  There are clearly ETF’s in this list that are not diversified such as GLD which is only invested in gold but were included on the list to gain access to that sector with reasonable fees and a good volume.

I created this ETF list for several reasons.  Feel free to explore this list and use it any way you see fit.

  1. A go-to list that I could quickly find sectors breaking out or sectors that were losing favor with investors.  I could then drill down to quickly find individual stocks that may be worthy of trading.  It is also and simple way to find possible sector rotations.
  2. An ETF list that could be used for finding option directional or spread trading opportunities.  There have been times when I have found as 20 good spread trades per month.  Other times when there are few productive trading setups.
  3. I also use this list when looking for longer term positions as a core portfolio of diversified ETF’s.  From this list, it is possible to build conservative, moderate or aggressive portfolios that have much lower costs than mutual funds.

Good morning everyone.  After the presidential debate lat night the futures popped up over 100 points but I guess sometime during the night the market realized that nothing really changed so they begin to normalize and it looks like we can expect just a slightly higher open.

Oil is lower this morning by more than $1 a barrel which could make it tough for the markets to really gain much ground.  There are a couple economic reports this morning but I think it’s unlikely they will move the market…However, we have Fed member speaking today and as you know they can create big moves if his speech is is perceived as dovish or hawkish.

The disappointing thing is our market seems to be completely dependent on the news cycle right now.  As you know the biggest moves are occurring during the pre-market and after that it just can’t seem to gather enough energy to anything other than chop.  It makes for some tough trading indeed.  If your a bit frustrated, you are not alone!

Trade Wisely,

Doug

URI short Long | Bearish “h” |  Trending T-Line™

Double click the trade plan to enlarge

uri-short-9-27-2016Good Morning, Profit Traders,

T-Line™ below the 34-ema (SPY) — Swing traders, the T-Line is trending below the 34-ema and price action is starting to look like a Bearish “h” pattern.  So far, the $215.55 resistance line has proven to be stronger than the bull.  A test of $212.31 (September low) seems likely.  If the bear wins the $215.31 battle, $209.35 would be the likely target.  We are still finding a few long trades, but the profits are smaller and quicker.  Adding a few short trades may prove to be wise, and, of course, the inverse ETFs are always good when the bear leads.

Trade Sheet Updates 9-26-16 Posted at 8:50 EDT

The morning gap up Friday sold off the entire day filling the gap from the day before.  Our trade on AAPL was stopped out which is a bummer but with the gap down we are seeing on Monday morning getting out soon may turn out to be a blessing.

The attempted trade on EXPE did not fill on Friday and will not be re-entered on Monday due to the market conditions.  For now, it’s important we hold on to our profits from this month and wait for new trades to come to us.

Good morning.  I hope everyone had a restful weekend.  The market seems to have woken up today with a bearish attitude.  The patterns in the index ETF’s are not positive at the moment with gap down opens that seem to be confirming another lower high on both the SPY and the DIA.

There is a ton of news this week with a bunch of Fed members speaking almost every day.  Yellen will be testifying on the Hill this week which will likely the market focusing on what she has to say.

If that were not enough we have the Presidential Debate tonight that has the potential to really kick up volatility depending on the results. Then we have OPEC once again trying to get an agreement to control output production.  Both Russia and Iran have both said they will not agree to a slow down.

Buckle up it could be a bumpy week.

Trade Wisely,

Doug

ENDP Long | Trending

Good Morning, Profit Traders,

Three lower highs, a hint of trouble – Before there were three lower highs, there was two shooting star double tops. The current chart pattern of the SPY is not one that a bull should be happy with.  The picture that is being painted is suggesting the bears are outnumbering the bulls. The morning weakness is suggesting there may be a test of September low; a fail at the September low would put the $209.35 as the next major lower target.
