Technical Analysis. Nasdaq 100,

This week our professional trader was able to capitalize on our volume signals for the S&P 500 index.

Even though all the above trades were not entirely without risk, we came out on top with a profit of $8,320

Why SPX options?
Generally we trade options, and in this case SPX (S&P 500) options because they offer a high return, but are less risky than futures for the S&P 500 index. One can trade S&P 500 index futures, SPDRs stocks, SPX options (as we did), or even SPX futures options. There is a wide array of trading vehicles that are tied to the S&P 500 index, and it's mostly up to the individual trader as to which is preferred to trade.

Why buy expensive November Calls?
Even though November Call options are more expensive, they tend of to be less volatile in reaction to market swings, and they don't devalue as quickly as a current month option. By trading options that are at least one month ahead, we protect ourselves from unforeseen short-term fluctuations in the market. Also, if the uptrend continues on a long-term, one can hold these options for a longer period as they increase substantially in value.

We would like to make it clear to our members what the motivation was to make the above trades; therefore, we have created what we Call a 'Table of Motivation', in which we try to make it clear the motivation that was behind each of the above trades.

The same principles mentioned above works for trading NASDAQ 100, S&P 100, Dow Jones, and other indexes.
