Best Short-Term Trade
October 17th, 2003
Our short-term index options trader traded QQQQ
options for this best trade of the week, but one could have traded
NASDAQ 100 index shares or options using the same method. These trades
were based on strong volume indicators and Market Commentary.
NOTE: This chart of the week is meant mainly for
educational purposes. We don't recommend that our customers follow these
exact trades. We suggest that you develop your own trading style and try doing
some paper trading before using our volume analytics.

risk, we came out on top with a profit of
$3850
We would like to show the
motivations that led to the above trades; therefore, we have created what we
call a 'Table of Motivation':

Buy Call #1
10/13/2003 |
As the market moved
lower after 10:25, it generated a substantial supportive VMA spike to the
downside between 12:45 -13:55 which was an excellent buy signal. |
Our mid-term outlook remains the same as
we still see room for the market to move higher in the mid-term.
|
Sell Call #1
10/15/2003 |
As the market opened
1.5% higher it generated a large resistive VMA spike to the upside, which
caused the index to reverse directions and move lower. |
Overall, we believe that the
supportive volume that we've been seeing over the past while will keep
the market moving higher in the mid-term, but there is a chance for the
market to move lower in the short-term as it responds to today's
resistive volume. |
Buy Call #2
10/15/2003 |
As the market moved
lower after 12:40 , it generated a moderate supportive VMA spike to the
downside during 14:20-15:00, which was another excellent buying opportunity. |
Overall, we believe that the
supportive volume that we've been seeing over the past while will keep
the market moving higher in the mid-term, but there is a chance for the
market to move lower in the short-term as it responds to today's
resistive volume. |
Sell Call #2
10/16/2003 |
As the market moved
higher after 11:20, it generated a substantial resistive VMA spike to the
upside between 12:30 -13:00, which signaled the possibility that the market
could move lower, thus we closed out position. |
Overall, we believe that the
supportive volume seen today, which was quite large, will help move the
market even higher in the mid-term, but there is a chance for the market
to have a short-term correction by options expiration this Friday.

The same principles mentioned above also work for trading the
NASDAQ 100, S&P 100, Dow Jones, as well as other indexes.
