Become Familiar With ETF Trading Strategies If You Want To Succeed

By Patrick Deaton

It never hurts to have a couple of good ETF trading strategies if you are contemplating getting into trading in an exchange traded fund. These index funds or trusts can be excellent investment vehicles because they carry broad ranges of securities that offer many opportunities for trading. Having a good plan and a strategy for trading can go a long way towards increasing chances of income return.

As far as what constitutes an ETF, it is much like a mutual fund in the way that it has been constructed and in the way it is operated. Also, ETFs can be similar to stocks in the way that buying, selling and trading can go on in an ETF. There are baskets of securities within the ETF, and each exchange traded fund tracks a certain market index. A good example is the S&P 500.

Small investors aren't generally allowed to participate directly as an authorized participate in an exchange traded fund. Usually, large institutional investors and the very rich are the only ones allowed direct access. However, small investors can get into ETF fund trading by going through an online exchange traded fund trading system. There are several good ones on the Internet.

Keep in mind that it's a pretty good idea to get an idea of general and specific trading strategies before taking any starting capital and investing it in a trading system. For the most part, there are two categories of strategy when it comes to trading; fundamental strategies and technical strategies. Many numbers-oriented traders are drawn to the technical varieties.

Probably one of the best of the technical trading strategies around and that is a good strategy for those looking for a strategy that can highlight the best time to buy a security is what is called the "cup-with-a-handle." It is also what is known as a breakup pattern, and most technical strategies are designed to look at particular patterns, by the way.

The underlying strategy behind this breakup pattern is to find the pattern that tells you when to buy the stock or security as its price begins to go -- or break -- upwards. You will be looking for larger or better than average trading volumes in order to discern that point. You can cut losses if it starts to drop back to the level just before the upwards break.

With this sort of trading strategy, there is great potential for being able to capture the majority of the upward move. You can also limit your losses through a set series of stop-losses. Always beware anyone who tells you that the opposite handle pattern is just as good, because most experts disagree. Take a stock chart and look for a dip that exits upwards and has a handle on it.

For anybody considering getting into exchange traded fund trading and has the patience and the desire, finding a couple of good ETF trading strategies and become extremely familiar with them before getting into the game. Remember, while there is excellent potential for good return on investment through trading, there is also the risk of losing what you have invested. - 23221
