Best Short-Term Trade
May 25th, 2004
This "Trade of the week" was based
on our volume indicators.
This week's “best trade of the week”
is a continuation of the
previous week’s best trade,
where we left a QQQQ Call position open.
This trade was closed with
18% of profit.
NOTE: We discuss our “best trades of the week” here mainly for
educational purposes. The trading examples we illustrate are based
principally on our volume indicators and market commentaries. Our main
intent is to show you how you can apply our volume indicators and to explain the
specific correlations that exist between volume spikes and the movement of the
indexes. We do not mean to imply that you should follow our exact trades, but
rather wish to suggest that you may make use of our volume analytics to develop
your own trading style. We also urge you to paper trade before committing your
money to the markets.

Your trade horizon appears to apply only for the short-and mid-term. What
about the long-term? Do your indicators work for long-term time frames?
Yes, they do. In fact, our indicators work for any time frame. In our “Best
Trade of the Week” feature, we generally show short-term trades, because our
trades are based on options, and it is our strong opinion that the short-term
time frame is the best way to trade options. If you are more interested in
trading the mid- and long-term, visit the "Charts
Example" section on
www.MarketVolume.com. You will find several examples there that apply to
mid-and long-term trades.
Is your "Trade of the Week" feature associated with any paid services that
I could use to trade options in real time?
No, it is not associated with any paid services. Our “Trade of the Week”
newsletters are free of charge. They are developed by a group of independent
traders, who work closely with
www.MarketVolume.com (a service that provides real-time volume charts) and
wish to share their experiences with volume-based indicators.
In the following, we would like to show you the
motivating factors that led us to take above trades. For this purpose, we have
created what we call a 'Table of Trade Motivators':
