RSI-2 Possible Long reversal trade today

    Posted by sbaxman111 on 2nd of Jan 2014 at 12:53 pm

     

    On Friday the NYA closed with an RSI-2 reading of 99.81% and had been above the 99% level for 3 consecutive days. The Dow closed with a reading of 99.61% and had been above 90% for 9 consecutive days.

    Today the RUT is at an RSI-2 reading of 11.11% at almost 12:45 pm. This 88 point one day drop within the 8 major indexes that I track is often followed by a short-term reversal the next trading day when the 1 day move is 80+ points. 90 point one day moves have a very high % of producing a winning one day trade over the 13+ years of data that I have.

    I use the 200% Long and Short RUT etfs or mutual funds to execute these potential trades. The Rydex 200% RUT L/S funds made just under 40% lasy year taking this type of one day trade. There were 49 trades in 2013 using this methodology - 14 LOST MONEY. Obviously an increase in volatility provides better opportunities for this type of trade to be a winner.  

    The NYAD indicator is also at an extreme short-term oversold condition. It is below the -1000 level and also below the 20,1.25 custom Bollinger Band setting that I use with this indicator to find short-term extremes. The RSI-2 reading for the indicator is also below the 20% line. A Long trade here at the close today would have a target of a close back above the 9 day exp line.

    IWM NO LEVERAGE - UWC OR UWM 200% - TZA 300% LEVERAGE......I NORMALLY USE THE 200% FUNDS AND SAVE THE 300% STUFF FOR INTRA-DAY.

    AT 3:05 PM THE 1 DAY POINT DIFFERENTIAL IS STILL 87 POINTS FOR THE RSI-2 VALUES
