"Best Trade" Newsletter (February 2, 2006)
2/2/2006

In the following example, we have based our  QQQQ options trades on S&P 500 index volume indicators and on advance / decline indicators. Using the principles outlined below, you may wish to trade options on the SPDRs (SPY), ^SPX, DIAMONDS Trust, Series 1 (DIA), as well as on other underlies that generally tend to move in concert with the S&P 500 index. It is also conceivable that an analysis similar to the one shown below could be used to trade options based on the NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000, and other indexes.

Below you will find a Table of Trade Motivations and a chart showing the trades, including detailed trade calculations.

For this “Best trade”, A trade (Buy Calls) is opened
in order to close it later with profit if the index moves in our favor.

Chart 1: Options trades on the S&P 500 Advance Decline Indicators and High Magnitude Volume. February, 2006.
 

In Table 1 - a "Table of Trade Motivators" - we show the motivating factors that led us to take the above trades.

Decision
Motivation
01/20/2006   On January 20, 2006 we noted extremely low market sentiment readings. The S&P 500 advance/decline (A/D) issues and A/D VOLUME ratios reached critical levels of 0.11 and 0.09, respectively. This revealed an extremely bearish market sentiment, indicating the market was oversold and thus prone to trend reversals.
01/20/2006   On January 20, 2006 we noted a high-magnitude buying volume surge. The (2/10) PVO was 16.2%, indicating that that the average volume was more then 16% higher than it had been for the previous 10 trading days.  As a rule, significant volume surges point to coming market reversals.
02/02/2006 Buy Calls On February 2, 2006 we noted low market sentiment readings. The S&P 500 advance/decline (A/D) issues and A/D volume ratios reached strongly bearish levels of 0.15 and 0.18 around 11:30, respectively. This revealed an extremely bearish market sentiment, indicating the market was oversold and thus prone to trend reversals.

Below we list in detail the actual trades made, along with the netted returns achieved..

In choosing the options for these trades, the following criteria were used:

  • We chose options with at least two months left until expiry;
  • We chose one of the cheapest available in-the-money options.

Fast Answers:

How can this chart be used by me?

Our main reason for publishing these charts is to allow our members to learn by another example how they can make trades based on our volume and advance/decline indicators. 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 do not 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.

Should I try to paper trade before trading options?

Yes! We suggest that anyone who is new to our signals and analysis try doing some paper trading to start, at least until they are comfortable with interpreting our signals. Only very experienced traders should trade options because of the high risk involved. You can always trade index shares instead of options and still make a decent profit, but returns will not be as large.

Important: The analysis results presented in the “Best Trade" may differ from the outlook presented in the daily Market Commentaries. Results may also differ from the trading signals generated for Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), or from any other research and analysis efforts shared with our members. These are products developed by independent research teams, delivered to MarketVolume® members. While sharing some research results, these autonomous research teams may use different systems and may have dissimilar market outlooks.

Disclaimer: This newsletter is intended for educational purposes only – it does not constitute trading advice, nor does it make or imply any market trend predictions. This newsletter illustrates examples based principally on MarketVolume® index volume indicators and advance/decline (AD) indicators. 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 analytics to develop your own trading style.
