Swapping Positions Into the Weekend; Chess Moves
Headed into the weekend, I went long SOXS at $11.32, with a stop-loss below $11. This is a 4% position-size, and is the triple-bearish ETF for the semiconductor sector. The top two components in the SMH ETF, INTC and TSM, are closing the week out weak, and I am betting they will lead the group lower next week. I also went and sold out of my...

Trapping the Big Cat with a Chase; Chess Moves
I just went short the giant global industrial player, Caterpillar, at $83.03, with a protective cover-stop over $86. This position amounts to roughly 4% of my trading portfolio capital.

A Win is a Win is a Win; Chess Moves
After entering UGA, the gasoline ETF, back on Wednesday at $36.63 for a long trade, I just sold the other half of my position for about a two-point win. As I noted, this was a smaller position size due to how thinly UGA trades at times. However, a win is a win. And after two big wins in UGAZ in recent weeks, recognizing the rotation into...

No Longer Between the Hedges
I am considering selling the final piece of my UGA ("University of Georgia") long, which is the ETF for gasoline. As I noted when I initiated the position, my sizing was smaller than usual because the ETF trades thinly in terms of volumes. Nonetheless, a profit is a profit. And at this point the ETF is no longer "between the hedges" as price...

Remnants of Old Fear

Specifically, on the zoomed-out weekly chart, below, we can see that price found resistance at prior support from July 2008, which...
