Profit from trading international ETFsHow To Profit From Trading International ETFs
Let's Get Started...
What are international ETFs? ETFs that trade on U.S. stock exchanges, but
whose underlying indexes are comprised of a basket of foreign stocks and ADRs
What are the benefits of trading them? Most have relatively low correlations to
direction of major U.S. stock market indices Some foreign countries & regions have
economic cycles that are not necessarily in sync with U.S. economic cycle.

Quickly finding relative strength and weakness...
Keys to relative strength trading
Relative strength must be assessed on a relative not absolute basis
Relative strength should be spotted quickly; if it takes too long, there is not relative strength
ETFs that do not fall when the main stock market indexes fall are the first to surge higher when the broad market bounces (and vice versa)
Don't “hope” a weak ETF will “catch up” to those with relative strength
