    Fun with Fibonacci!

    I just noticed that my article and chart show 0.318 for a fib retracement level. That SHOULD say 0.382, NOT 0.318. Sorry about that.

    Fibonacci Retracements

    I liked your analysis lonehand. Thanks for sharing that info. I just started a thread on Fibo and clearly labeled a chart that shows fibonacci levels. You may want to take a look at my analysis also. The thread is called Fun With Fibonacci and here is the direct URL...

    ok, let's go, show us that fibs work!

    Gordon, I just started a thread on Fibo that may answer some of your questions about Fibo. I also clearly labeled a chart that shows fibonacci levels. The thread is called Fun With Fibonacci and here is the direct URL: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8335

    Why actively trade ETFs?

    Tradesman, Perhaps I didn't clarify my post regarding adjusting position size. I was referring to adjusting position size purely from a risk management point of view. For example, buying 1000 shares of DIA is much different than buying 1000 shares of QQQ because you have almost four times...

    Fun with Fibonacci!

    Given the recent discussion on Fibo that has been taking place here, I thought it may be of interest to repost a short article that my partner and I wrote on Fibonacci about a year ago. It discusses how Fibonacci applies to nature, as well as the basic mathematics of Fibo. We use Fibonacci...

    Why actively trade ETFs?

    Yesterday was a perfect example of why we always use the 20-minute opening gap rule before entering a trade that has triggered due to a gap down. The 20-minute opening gap rule states that whenever a trade immediately hits its trigger price due to a gap up or gap down on the open, we only enter...

    Arbitrage

    In addition to doing arbitrage on the futures, you can also arbitrage any ETF by knowing the exact composition of each one and creating a basket or synthetic stock to mirror the ETF. In times when the market makes a sudden reversal, the ETF is often slower to catch up than the actual underlying...

    Why actively trade ETFs?

    Thanks for sharing your interesting insight tradesman. The part I do agree with is that it is important to look for a big enough move where paying an extra 20 cents or so does not matter. If I am scalping and only looking to make a quarter, the spread matters a lot. However, we typically are...

    Why actively trade ETFs?

    I am watching PPH for an entry on the long side today. This is the HOLDR for the Pharmaceutical Index (DRG), which is one of the few sectors that has not yet broken any technical support levels on the daily chart. This relative strength indicates it will probably be one of the first sectors to...

    Why actively trade ETFs?

    Yesterday's weakness put the Nasdaq below the critical support levels of the 20 and 40 day moving averages, as well as the lower channel of the uptrend on the daily chart that we spoke of. From a technical standpoint, this is a very bearish signal because the Nasdaq should have attempted to...

    Why actively trade ETFs?

    Here is a link to some of my ETF trade ideas for today. I would have posted the actual text here on the board, but there are too many associated charts, so it is easier to just post the URL. . . I'm working on part 2 of the article I posted last week on getting efficient ETF order executions...

    Does ARCA let you preference them? Not sure because I don't use ARCA anymore, but I think they may if you can post through ARCA.

    Information about Sector

    I have been professionally trading for years and I still have lots of questions too! I view consisently profitable trading as an ongoing journey, not a destination. If I ever start to think that I know everything there is to know about trading, that is when the market quickly shows me how...

    Information about Sector

    SchonfeldTrade, I have attached a file that we used for sector trading about a year ago, before we switched to exclusively trading ETFs. The data is about a year old and has not been updated since, but it should be of assitance to you. You will notice there are three worksheets within the...

    Why actively trade ETFs?

    DaytraderNYC, You are certainly correct that the spreads can be large on some of the ETFs. One thing that I probably never clarified is my time horizon in trading them. I rarely will enter an ETF trade with the intention of being in it for less than several hours. In fact, our plays...
