What do you mean by Market Stage in the Market
Commentary?
When MarketVolume talks about an up-trend or a down-trend, we are talking
about the market's trend over days to, sometimes, several months. We do
not give the trend for day-trading, i.e., we don't tell you that the
market will be up for an hour and then down for 2 hours. What we do give
you is information on what the overall direction of the market will be
over several days or months. So when we say 'downtrend', that means the
market is moving generally down when you look at it on a 5-day, 15-day,
30-day, or 60-day period. The best view to see how our Market Outlook
correlates with the market, we suggest using a 30-day chart with a 1-day
VMA (Volume Moving Average). By knowing the general trend of the market,
you can make greater profits than if you only know where the market will
go in the immediate short-term
Could you simply explain how your
indicators/signals work?
The basic principle behind our volume indicators is that volume affects
the direction of the market. If an index is moving up and the volume
moving average (VMA) is also moving up (looks like a spike), there is a
chance that the index will reverse once the VMA has begun to decline again
(once the VMA has peaked). Conversely, when an index is moving down and
the VMA is moving up, there is a chance that the index will reverse once
the VMA has peaked. The larger and wider a VMA spike is, the higher the
chance that a reversal in the index will soon occur. There are also
scenarios where one spike in the VMA is not enough to cause a reversal in
the index. When there are several VMA spikes during a small period
(concurrent VMA spikes/signals), there is often a good chance that the
index will reverse due to the cumulative effect of these VMA spikes. You
should always pay close attention to WHERE the VMA spike occurs, as
sometimes half of the VMA spike occurs as the index is moving up, and the
other half occurs as the index is moving down. When this happens, the
total effect of the VMA spike cancels itself out and will generally not
affect the market.
I don't understand exactly what you mean by
short, mid, and long-term in your Market Outlook. Could you
elaborate?
A long-term trend is defined as a general market trend that usually
lasts for up to several years.
A mid-term trend is defined as a general market trend that usually lasts
from several weeks to several months.
A short-term trend is defined as a general market trend that usually
lasts from one to several days.
Intraday trend (also called short-term) is defined as a general market
trend that usually lasts within a single session.
When do you update the Market Outlook?
The Market Outlook is updated by 6:00 PM EST every market day.
Sometimes the Market Outlook could be updated later due to unusual
market situations.
What does Selling and Buying Volume Mean?
Selling Volume:
Also known as Selling VMA spike(s), Selling Volume to the Upside, or
just Selling Volume.
When we mention volume to the upside in our site, we are referring to any
volume which occurred as the index was moving up.
Buying Volume:
Also known as Buying VMA spike(s), Buying Volume to the
Downside, or just Buying Volume.
When we mention volume to the downside in our site, we are referring to
any volume which occurred as the index was moving down.
What is the difference between your subscription
packages?
We have 3 different subscription packages. The main difference between
them is access to specific charts. Also, "MV Gold" and "MV Platinum"
members have ETFs (QQQQ, SPDRs and DOW) Signals access included for
FREE. To see a comparison between each subscription package
CLICK HERE.
I can’t get access to any of your charts. When I
click on any of the charts nothing happens.
There are several reasons you may be encountering this problem. First, you
could have security and/or privacy set to high in Internet Explorer.
Secondly, you could have java scripting disabled, OR you may have a 3rd
party utility installed that stops pop-up windows from loading. Also,
sometimes by simply closing all open browser windows and re-logging into
the site fixes the problem.
I don’t see any buy and sell signal lines on my
chart, but I saw them in your Chart School examples and your Chart of the
Week.
With MarketVolume’s indicators you get a chart of the index, and VMA spikes, which help you to determine reversal points of the
index. Buy and sell lines are imaginary lines which we add to our example
charts to help illustrate to our subscribers what signals to look for. The
actual reversal point signals are the volume moving average (VMA) spikes
that occur as the index is moving up or down. The chances that the index
will reverse go up as the VMA spike increases, or if the VMA spike lasts a
long time.
On a 1-day real-time chart with a 30-minute VMA
it’s hard to distinguish whether a VMA spike is relatively large or small.
How can I determine this?
When trying to ascertain whether a VMA spike is significant or not, it is
best to get a larger perspective on the current chart. By zooming out to a
5-day or 15-day chart and setting the VMA to 30 or 60 minutes, you will be
able to get a better perspective on which VMA spikes are significant and
which are not. For longer-term trading, using a 30-day or 60-day chart with a
1-day VMA can be very helpful in determining long-term trends in an index,
and when it is likely that the index will reverse directions.
How many
charts can I have open on my computer? I’ve noticed that charts sometimes
look small and there is no spacing between each volume bar.
You can open as many charts as you want on your computer, or at least as
many as your computer’s memory will hold. A simple way to open new charts
is to press CTRL+N, or by pressing the ‘New JavaChart’ button from the
pop-up window. To increase the scale of the chart (the spacing between
each volume bar), you can resize the chart by pressing the maximize
button, or by resizing the chart like you do with any window. The higher
your screen resolution, the larger the scale you can get.
