Market Timing Model Components: My stock market timing signal model is simple and consists of a real-time chart and 3 indicators. Namely,  Total Stock Market chart + Fibonacci Retracement + MACD | EMA + Wilders RSI | SMA. Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of the overall stock market and includes large-, mid-, and small-cap equity diversified across growth and value styles. Fibonacci Retracement to call support and resistance level. Moving Average Convergence-Divergence (MACD) | Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossover to call confirmed buy and sell signals. Wilder's Relative Strengths Index (RSI) | Simple Moving Average (SMA) crossover to call potential up or down trends.

Today, their mass appeal seems unstoppable and certainly can play an important part in diversifying your portfolio. However, avoid all but the largest ETFs, because numerous ETFs fail to track and one-third of the current ETFs are forced to close.

ETNs are not ETFs!  While Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs) and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are sometimes grouped together, or worse, confused as the same thing, they are not. Unlike traditional ETFs, exchange-traded notes are debt obligations backed by the financial or banking institution that issues them. One factor that affects the ETN's value is the credit rating of the issuer. The value of the ETN may drop despite no change in the underlying index, instead due to a downgrade in the issuer's credit rating. - - -0O0- - - Interactive Chart ~ Try It!  Click on  1M or YTD to see the trend ~ change ticker ~ use compare to see % scale

First,  just say no to a few things when using my ETF stock-market trading and investment strategy

Costly subscriptions - forget market timing newsletter subscription or stock trading software applications. The expense for these product will eat into your profits, especially for smaller portfolios. Because, plenty of stock investment resources are on the internet for free. I will show you how to get it and how to set it up. 

Researching company fundamentals - Leave the research of blue ship companies to the +4,000 stock market analysts working for many brokerages and investment banks. These experts do their homework and get the inside scoop on the prospects of the companies that they follow.

Complex technical skills - no complicated theories like Elliott Wave, Ichimoku Cloud, Bollinger Bands or Donchian Channels, just to name a few.

Don't let a failed short term idea turn into a long term lemon - Over the long haul, what separates the best traders from the also-rans isn't winning on every trade but the discipline to close out the losers. It's hard to admit you're wrong but traders know that once the catalyst is over, the trade is done. Remember... hope is not a viable investment thesis.

Excessive investment research time (Homework) - some experts recommend one hour of research for each stock per week.  But with my stock investment plan, it's just minutes each day to setup, maintain and control your investment portfolio.

Being driven by emotion - emotions often cloud our decision-making and prevent us from acting in a rational manner.
