This is a list of ETFs I’ve researched and found to meet the criteria for tradeable Swing Trading candidates and have used them for specialized searches and trading. Some of the ETFs are listed for coverage of specific markets or to maintain a group of related markets; so, always check the Bid/Ask Spread before setting up your trade. It’s a good list to limit your universe and give you a chance to learn something about each one. Again, this is an effort to reduce clutter and allow you to focus your effort where it counts. It also lets you use Options without having to look up the volumes every time. You’ll find leveraged ETFs and inverse ETFs to give you a range of choices to cover most market conditions. The ETFs are sorted by the 50 Day Average Option Volume (High to Low). Enjoy.
