ETF Swing Trading and Investing – Capitalize on the 2 Day Down Phenomenon

Helping Swing Traders, Investors and Institutional Market Participants Increase Profitability

Past research suggests market participants can increase there probability of determining a short term turning point by tracking the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Fridays and the following Monday.

Over the past twelve years this phenomenon occurs on average about ten times per year and has an average decline of 5.5%. If the market is in a downtrend the average decline is amost double!
