A guide to ETF Setups

How to read the signals, check the trade plan and follow the results. No account required.

1. Start with the signal date

Signals are calculated after the daily close. The entry shown is a model reference price, not an order placed in your account. Check the date before treating a setup as new. An open position may have started several sessions ago.

2. Identify the setup

Trend Reversal identifies a change to an upward trend. First Pullback identifies the first qualifying dip toward the Market Pulse line after that turn. Oversold Bounce looks for a recovery after a large decline and applies only to ETFs.

3. Read the exit rules

Trend trades start with a stop based on average true range (ATR), a measure of price movement. As the trade advances, the model moves the stop to entry and then trails the high. Oversold Bounce uses a fixed stop and target. Its exit rules differ from those of the trend setups.

A stop price is not a guaranteed fill. Gaps, slippage and fees can change the outcome. ETF Setups does not place or update broker orders.

4. Check position size and overlap

The ETF model portfolio allows up to 20 positions at 5% each, with a limit of three per group. Unused allocations remain in cash. These are model allocations; decide your own size before entering and check whether your existing holdings share the same exposure.

5. Review updates after the close

Use the signals page and pre-market brief to review new setups, current stops and exits. Stock signals in Sector Radar are research; they are separate from the ETF portfolio.

6. Read the record in context

Historical backtests and signals tracked since launch are labeled separately. Neither represents your brokerage results. Compare trade counts, average outcomes and losses as well as win rate. Past results do not guarantee future returns.
