NOTE: We discuss our "best trades of the week" here mainly for educational purposes. We don't recommend that you follow our exact trades. Instead, we urge you to develop your own trading style and to paper trade before committing your money to real trades. Our volume analytics will help you do this.

Even though the trades shown above were not entirely without risk, they resulted in a profit of $7,325

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 Outlook. 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 QQQ shares will not change when trading something like S&P 500 futures.

Notes:

If you trade options, we recommend you invest only a small portion of your assets - an amount that will fit your personal trading needs and risk tolerance. In our opinion, that amount should be about 10% of your total portfolio; it should never exceed 30%.

At the same time, we do not recommend that you commit more than 30% of your options portfolio to a single trade. If the market doesn't move in your favor, but indicators remain strong, you may choose to invest another 30% of your options portfolio on a second signal, and perhaps even on a third signal. By proceeding in this way, each time you enter the market in a better position, and usually the profit from the last trade will more than compensate for the loss from your first  trade.
