Thread: ETF for dummies

  1. #49

    Default Re: ETF for dummies

    For a flat fee of $10 a month, I subscribed to Robinhood Gold which gives me added extra buying power of $2000 and extended trading hours from 0900-1800 everyday. Trades are still free.
    However, I see some traders (stocktwits) able to do their trade even before 0900. How do they do it?

    Is the thought that you should trade to a gold ETF to get the gains there, when the market starts going bear on is all? And do it fast ?

    Is there a direct/inverse correlation between volume and the share price?

    Some (Many?) don't use volume in their algo analysis, especially for ETF's. I don't use volume in my algo for a few reasons. But this article seems to be on-point to your query:

    Why Volume Is A Spurious Indicator For ETFs
    Forbes Welcome

    "...The Silence of Volume

    While made traders may consider volume as a confirming indicator to their analysis of price movements, they should take caution when applying the same analysis towards ETFs. While most ETFs will track the price movements of their underlying indices closely, the volume of the index and the ETF (and thus the indicator demand-driven market momentum) can diverge. Just as trading the underlying stocks does not create volume in the ETF, trading the ETF does not necessarily create volume in the underlying components. Investors evaluating ETF volume as an indicator in their decision-making be warned: this is a case of garbage in, garbage out. ..."

    "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."

    Not sure if I am interpreting the bible verse above correctly...I made BIG $$$$ with DUST, and losing big time, too, with DUST... I guess, "..full circle.." is more apt...

    Simply: Stop loss becomes a market order; stop limit becomes a limit order.
