Buying and Sellng Extremes: The SKF Trade

Published by

on

My strategy over the past few months has been to be patient and wait for extreme conditions to surface before making both long and short entries. A good example of this type of trade is the SKF position I entered yesterday (detailed in the trade report).

Here are my entry notes with chart:

I took one “low risk speculative” trade today, shorting financials via SKF. The inverse ETF has dipped down to a strong area of support, making it a low risk entry. I bought 100 shares at $103 and have a mental stop under support at $97-98. I will likely take partial profits if it bounces to $110, and then again at $120.

If the market continues to rally, I’ll lose a minimal amount. However, if it pulls back, this could be a very profitable trade. For those looking to take this trade, I probably would not enter above $103-104. As price moves higher, risk increases.

I took partial profits today at $111 and moved my stop up to entry level, effectively locking in today’s profit. My final target is $120.

    I agree…I have been using greed/panic indicator as my entry and exit signals…it works like charm in this market
