Hi,

I'm just curious to see if anyone here actively trades ETFs.

Are there any articles that you recommend to learn about the topic?

 

Trading ETFs intraday like the SPY/EEM/etc. is the most difficult trading style to do successfully. This is coming from a professional trader. Even if you are excellent at it you will have massive down days a couple times a week.

 

i started about a month ago, not professionally at all, im just a student in college. Just as sahtt said its been up and down every week. So far I have done decent, about $500 using about $3000 as my investment, but i have been up about 800 and right now i have some long holdings that took a major hit the past couple days of trading and am now about $50 in the negative.

 

Personally I'd say you have a better shot at making money from earnings plays than that strategy.
