QQQQ Market Timing

By: ITS Team

Article Category: SML Review System

QQQ-Market-Timing™ is an affiliate site of Index-Trading-Systems™ and who delivers trading signals for ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds). Specifically, Index-Trading-Systems™ provides traders with signals for the following:

• The QQQ (NASDAQ-100 tracking stock). The QQQ are also called “the cubes”;
   
• SPY (commonly called "spiders," which track the stocks of the S&P 500);
   
• DIA (”diamonds”, which track the 30 stocks of the Dow Jones Industrial Average);
   
• Mutual funds that track the NASDAQ-100 index.

Currently, QQQ-Market-Timing™ offers two distinct service levels:

1. A basic level with after-close trading signals, and
    
2. A special service level offering pre-close trading signals.

The main difference between ETFs pre- and after-close signals is the time at which they are published and delivered to subscribers.

We publish pre-close signals on the same day the trading system generates them – generally 45 minutes before the market closes. The after-close signals are usually posted on the site by 8:30 PM EST – as the name implies, they are published after the market has already closed for the day. This means that if you wish to place a trade based on an after-close signal, you will have to wait until the following trading day in order to do so. On the other hand, if you chose to subscribe to pre-close signals, you may initiate a trade on the same day a signal is generated.

It is very easy to follow the trading system. The trading signal itself can take one of three forms: "Long", "Short", or "Cash". ''Long'' means the system has generated a buy signal. A ''Cash'' signal means we are closing a trade and will remain in a cash position until a new signal has been generated. Finally, when we publish a “Short” signal, we are taking a short position (i.e., we will profit when an index declines). All trades based on after-close signals are executed at the market open on the first trading day following the day a signal was issued. On the other hand, all trades based on pre-close signals are executed at the market close on the same trading day a signal was issued. In conjunction with every trading signal, we also issue a "Stop-Loss Price". Should the market move against the position, a "Cash" signal will be generated when the stop-loss point is touched. We have designed the stop-loss strategy to protect you against big losses.

As the name implies, the site www.QQQ-Market-Timing.com focuses heavily on the trading of the QQQ, which is only one of the many Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) available today. On the site, you will find QQQ trading history in graphical and tabular form - for both pre-close and after-close signals. This will give you an indication of the potential returns that you can expect from the QQQ trading system. The site itself does not focus heavily on trading signals for other ETFS, such as the SPDRs, the DOW, and Mutual Funds. While you can access SPDRs trade history and DOW trade history on this site, we have placed Mutual Funds trade history on another affiliate site -www.mutualfund-trading-system.com.

Subscribers to QQQ-Market-Timing™ access the trading signals through the members’ home page. The signals are updated daily. As a subscriber, you may also chose to receive the daily email alerts, which provide the most recently updated details on each signal (“signal status”). Email alerts are available : (1) in a standard format, and (2) in a cell phone format, where we reduce the size of the message to a bare minimum, in order to accommodate the text size limitations for cell phones. For the after-close subscribers, email alerts are generally sent out by 8:30 PM EST. Subscribers to the pre-close signal service receive their email alerts daily by 3:15 PM EST, 45 minutes before the market closes. The many benefits of receiving QQQ pre-close signals as opposed to after-close signals have been summarized on the following link, including chart examples and calculations of the differences in return.

For trading the QQQ, we issue about 15-20 signals a year. Because these are predominantly short-term trades, (i.e., they usually last no more than 30 days), you could conceivably use the QQQ signals to trade QQQ options with expiration dates at least 2-3 months into the future.
