This week’s “best trade of the week” was based on the actual QQQ trading signals issued by our system for the period August 01, 2003 to January 10, 2004. The system is very simple: to profit, all you have to do is to follow our trade recommendations.

Subscribers who followed our signals made a +23% return trading QQQ stock during this period.

A question we are frequently asked is:

What kind of results can I expect
 by using your QQQ trading signals
to trade QQQ options
?

  • The above results were achieved by trading QQQ options based on our QQQ signals. Trades are entered at the market opening; trade signals are posted on our site the evening before.
     

  • The percent growth figure in the table above represents a summary rate of return, not a compounded return.
     

  • Only options trades with an expiration date of at least 2 to 3 months were taken. We do not encourage you to invest your money in (shorter-term) option plays that have a high risk of expiring worthless.
     

  • As the call strike, we take the highest strike price that is in the money at the moment a trade is opened. As the put strike, we take the lowest strike price that is in the money at the moment a trade is opened.
     

  • The results shown do not include brokerage commissions, taxes, or interest earned on cash positions.
