Initiated TBT and IEF bond pair

Re-enter the TBT and IEF bond pair with half of the portfolio size as the technical indicators for TBT showed sign of improvement. The RSI and Williams %R crossed above the mid point line which indicated there is a potential upward momentum for TBT. TBT is the 2X inverse of TLT.

Expand Bond pair trading to ETF Pair Trading

On the Bond Pairs Trading Portfolio, I realized that I may miss out some other ETF potential trades if I just wait for the bond pairs signal. Therefore, I expand it to other ETF pairs in order to create more opportunity. ETF pairs that I am looking at are TNA, TZA, FAS, FAZ, SSO, SDS, SPY, SH and others. The portfolio will include 1x, 2x, and 3x leverage pairs and it is now named ETF Pair Trading. Let see how it plays out.

Cash out on TBT and IEF pair

Closed the position on TBT and IEF pair with some profits. Will wait for the next entry signal.

Took profits with first sign of pulling back

S&P 500 may hit some resistance when it reaches to the 1300 level and can cause some short term pullback. I took profits on three portfolios except the bond pair. I will wait for the next signal to enter the new positions.

Continue to hold SSO

Major markets continued to be strong last week but we may be in the over bought territory and pull back is way over due. Should there be any sign of weakness, it may be time to lock in some profits. Until then, enjoy the ride.

Added SPY shares as momentum picked up

Added SPY shares on Ocean Portfolio and TSP Portfolio as momentum picked up again
