# Up and Down Days in a Row
|
|
|
|
The idea for these strategies comes from chapter 4 of [*How Markets Really Work*](https://moshferatu.dev/moshferatu/how-markets-really-work) (2012) by Larry Connors.
|
|
|
|
As with most of the strategies from this book, they are meant to illustrate certain characteristics of the market rather than be traded directly.
|
|
|
|
## Rules
|
|
|
|
**Up Days in a Row**
|
|
|
|
1. Enter a long trade when the market (e.g., SPX or SPY) closes higher for 3 consecutive days.
|
|
2. Exit the trade after one week.
|
