James,

Here is what I do to trade SPY and probably DIA.

It's very simple. When the S&P500 goes down more than 1/2% I buy 1000 shares Spy. When it comes back up to even I sell. Minimum of $500 profit per swing. If I get in at down 1/2% and it keeps on going I hold for a few days and up she comes to bail me out. Only been a handfull of times she kept going down down down. When the market is cooperating I get a good swing every 1-2 days. Occasionally, when the market sells off big time (1.75%-3%) I will buy 2000-3000 shares. It's foolproof as long as the bigpicture is still bullish.

I would appreciate any comments you might have.

Kevin
