New trades today $EWG $EWD $CAR $URI $AMT $O$VIX inched higher to 29.2 and I expect it to hang around the 30 handle going into the election, no exits today, I put on 3 new pairs trades and plan on taking them off next week and most likely flattening my entire portfolio into cash going into election week.

New Pairs Today - $LOW $TJX $AVB $IYR $DBX $BOXHey guys, we had a nice uptick in volatility today with the VIX climbing to 29.2, with that I put on 3 new pairs trades. Long $TJX / Short $LOW - Long $AVB / Short $IYR - Long $BOX / Short $DBX. I still have 3 other open pairs trades.
Barring any unexpected event I think volatility could stay tame up until the election in 2 weeks then we could see some massive re-pricing on the day of the election and the following several sessions as the market re-prices assets according to what new administration is set to takeover the White House, so I plan on having light exposure going into the election, not putting on any new trades in the several days leading into the election and then look for volatility spikes afterwards to enter new pairs trades.

New Pairs Trade - $CHRW vs $EXPDHey guys, final update for the week, I exited the pair $CGC vs $CRON and entered a new pairs trade long $CHRW vs short $EXPD, this pair has a profitable history and looks good technically right now. I ended the week up and expect market volatility to increase over the coming weeks into the election, I've left a lot of powder dry ready to take advantage of the spikes in volatility and enter new pair trades as they present themselves.
Have a great weekend and see you for trading on Monday!

Today's Pairs Trade - Long $EPOL / Short $EWMHey guys, today I exited my shorts in $MSFT $FXI and $F and am now sticking just to pairs, I think market conditions will be good for staying market neutral especially coming into the election where we could see strong one way moves in the market making it very difficult for directional trades. On the other hand these highly volatile market spikes can present great opportunities for pairs trades.
I opened a new pairs trade today, long the Poland ETF $EPOL and short the Malaysia ETF $EWM in equal dollar amounts. Using the Buy Sell Bands on this pair has shown very strong historical results as I show in the video.
Stay tuned for my update tomorrow.
Cheers,
Jared.

Check in tomorrow for an update on how my trades are tracking.
Cheers,
Jared.
