using the SRS Mechanical Swing 2 to trade DRV

    Posted by rank10 on 30th of Sep 2009 at 09:01 pm

    Here is a trading idea for those that are interested.  I wanted to see what the returns were like using the SRS swing 2 to trade the DRV.  All trades were generated from the SRS chart and purchased on DRV.  I could only test this back to July 20th since thats when DRV started trading.  As you can see you would have generated 100%+ returns in the same time period.  the only thing I changed was the profit target and the stoploss

    profit target set to 25%

    stoploss set to 6%

    Good one rank. I'm sure

    Good one rank. I'm sure not an ETF expert but the underlying group of assets that make up a 3x vs. a 2x should be different but similar?

    And I'm wondering if the underlying assets would be much different between ProShares and Direxion. Judging from your charts - not much.

    Are there any knowledgeable ETF traders who can shed some light on the subject?

    for those that dont know,

    Yes I've been following and trading DRV/DRN instead of SRS but using the same settings and it's working fine with little extra leverage. Not swinging them, just day trading.
