Return to LONG and INVERSE ETF TRADING
 
The purpose of this thread is to track the performance of the ETF trading model. With long and inverse ETF (ie. QLD/QID), you will either be bullish or bearish respectively. This trading strategy will ensure that you will always be in the market. Sometimes, the model requires you to be on the side line due to conflicted signals. Some of the ETFs are 1X, 2X or 3X leverage. Here are some of the list: volatility (XIV/VIIX), sp500 (SPY/SH), us dollar (UUP/UDN), Russell 2000 (IWM/RWM), gold (DGL/GLL), oil (UCO/SCO), and etc...

In simulation, each trade will be 100 shares with entry price at the close of the day. Broker fee is $14 round trip.
