In Rush for the Exits, Investors Yank $1.8 Billion From ETFs

(Bloomberg) — After trying to buy the dip, investors in bond exchange-traded funds bailed last week.

The $4.4 trillion ETF industry saw outflows of more than $1.8 billion for only the second time since October — led by fixed-income funds. That was a sharp reversal from the $16.3 billion inflows the previous week, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Stocks got whipsawed and Treasuries surged Monday despite dramatic moves from the Federal Reserve and other central banks. The $248 billion SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust — the world’s biggest ETF — plunged almost 12% after posting inflows of $9.2 billion last week.

Here are some of the highlights:

State Street’s Financial Select Sector SPDR fund, ticker XLF, had its worst week of outflows since August, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The $14.8 billion fund lost $1.7 billion in the five days ended March 13. The ETF plunged almost 18% on Monday, before trimming losses to 10%.

As the precious metal posted its worst week in over three decades, State Street’s SPDR Gold Shares ETF (NYSE: GLD )’s outflows were the worst since 2020. The $46.8 billion fund’s price extended losses into a fifth day Monday.

BlackRock’s iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, ticker AGG, lost $3.1 billion last week, the worst since it began trading in 2003. The iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF, ticker LQD, posted its fourth straight week of outflows.

Aibs – another inside bar strategy

Hello friends,forex traders. This strategy is using Price Action model Inside Bar. I am no using any indicators only naked chart and price action.

Indicators: No Indicators

Timeframe: D1
Currency pairs: EUR/USD;GBP/USD;USD/CHF;USD/JPY;GBP/JPY;EUR/JPY;EUR/CHF;USD/CAD
Trading Hours: When close daily candle
ENTRY RULES

When daily candle closed we looking for Price Action model Inside Bar. If we find it we put 3 buy stop orders few pips above highest small candle point and 3 sell stop orders few pips below lowest small candle point.

So we have 3 buy stop orders and 3 sell stop orders.

STOP LOSS / TAKE PROFIT

Stop Loss = Opposite order (For buy stop order need to put stop loss where is sell stop order and for sell stop order where is buy stop order).

Take Profit: I am using take profit only for 2 orders(2 for buy stop order and 2 for sell stop order).Take Profit = S/L. Third order I am leaving without take profit to make max profit (For buy order pull S/L few pips below every big bullish candle and for sell order pull S/L few pips above every bearish candle).

When any order is active other need to keep until it reaches the take profit. When take profit achieved we killing the opposite order.

I am no using standard 1-3% risk.

My is for:
1000$ = 0.01lot
2000$ = 0.02lot
4000$ = 0.04lot
8000$ = 0.08lot
16000$ = 0.16lot
Etc.
IMPORTANT:

If you lose 50% of the profits need to go back to the last lot.
For example: You start with 1000$ and your lot is 0.01. When you have 100% profit 1000$
(total 2000$ in your balance) need to start trading with 0.02lot and when you lost 50% of your profit, so 500$ (your balance 1500$) you must go back to 0.01lot till you again have 2000$.
