If he had traded March options, he could have made more than 40 percent on each trade. However,  we don't generally recommend options trading for our new members.

Over the past few weeks, the market has gone up and down, but we advised  the market was still in a downtrend. Our our professional mid-term trader was able to make several profitable  trades based on MarketVolume's Market Commentary and some very clear volume signals. Since the market is currently in a downtrend, our trader only went short, even though there were some points he could have theoretically gone long. It is safer to go short in a down-trending market even if you are a day-trader. It has been an excellent couple of weeks for short traders as MarketVolume's predictions have been very accurate.

Motivations behind Trades: The primary  motivation for the above trades was simply to make conservative mid-term trades that could be backed up with very clear volume signals. On every point of purchase, our trader waited for the index to move higher;  and if there was an appreciable VMA spike to the upside, he would make a purchase. On all of the sell points, you can see that there were some supportive VMA spikes  to the downside. In general, if trader wants to play it as safely as possible, he would close his open positions on just such a signal. The most important factor was MarketVolume's Market Stage and Market Status sections of the Market Commentary, where the forecast was for a downtrend.

How can this chart be used by me?
Our main reason for publishing these charts is to allow our members to learn by another trader's example  how they can make trades based on our volume signals and Market Commentary. Members can gain a better understanding of how to enter and exit the market, based on when a signal is generated. To learn from these charts, you don't need to trade the specific security mentioned in this publication, but whatever security you feel comfortable with. The principles for trading QQQQ shares will not change when trading something like S&P 500 futures.

I trade the NASDAQ 100 / QQQQ. How does this apply to me?
The S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 indexes have generally the same behavior. If you overlaid a chart of each of them during a short period such as this one, their general dynamic would be the same. Because of this, you can trade NASDAQ 100 index shares and options. You can probably make more money doing so because the NASDAQ 100 is more volatile.

Can I trade Rydex or ProFund  index funds using your Market Commentary and signals?
Yes, our system is meant for index traders, and there are many Mutual Fund options to choose from when  trading indexes. So yes, our indicators are good for trading Mutual Funds, especially dynamic Rydex funds.

Conclusion: Our mid-term trader, based on our Market Commentaries and Volume Signals, thinks the market will probably continue on a downtrend. But to play it safe, he  decided to close two thirds of his outstanding positions.

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

Here is a detailed list of our investor's trades, which netted the above returns:
