SPY trade vs. VIX signal:

    Posted by frtaylor on 14th of May 2021 at 11:45 am

    SPY trade vs. VIX signal:  If SPY stays up we'll get a SPY System exit signal. But we'll also get a VIX buy signal confirmation candle.  Hmm, what to do.  Any thoughts welcome!

    SPY trade position for weekend

    matt and steve presented different trading strategies for the long SPY trade.

    If in doubt take your profits and enjoy the weekend, or (assuming a loss is acceptable in your plan) adjust your stops and hope for the best.

    I plan on taking 1/2

    I plan on taking 1/2 of the SPY off and setting a stop at entry or higher (already sold my call).  But with the VIX giving a buy signal, I'll also be watching on Monday for an intraday TA pattern or candle setup to go long again with a 1/4 position (e.g. 2,500 of the orig. 10K SPY trade).  The VIX signal has been high probability in the past, so in combination with a pattern giving a tighter stop, it seems like a pretty safe plan.
