This was a long complicated exit strategy to get myself out of a bad trade.
The original position was open at $85.81. This was a losing trade for a long time by my standards. This position closed only at a 1.3% profit because of a dividend payment. The dividend was partly what caused the steep dropoff in price in October.
In between was another profitable trade from $80.12 to $83.56. (4.3% in 26 trading days)
With a big loss on the original trade, I bought back at $77.27 to try and neutralize the loss. Buy timing was indicated by RSI at 18, a bounce off the lower bollinger band. In hindsight a little early.
The final trade ended going up nicely, with 5.2% profit in 41 trading days.
RSI on the daily chart is at 97, so expect this to drop back this week.
I think I will stay clear of this fund for a while. The whole thing was a bit exhausting.1
