If one of your trades has not yet been terminated (by the time you report
it as a "Best Trade), should I try to follow it?
Our "Best Trade" feature is designed primarily to teach you how to use
our volume indicators. We do not wish to suggest that you should mimic these
actual trades, even if they are still open. Only follow an open trade if you
are aware of the risks and if you have access to real-time intraday volume
charts (you can get these from
www.MarketVolume.com). Whether or not we leave a particular "Best Trade"
open is always contingent on our volume indicators. For logistical reasons,
we cannot always send our newsletters out the same day we close a specific
trade. Even if we could, it would often be too late for you to establish a
position, since the market can reverse with very little or no notice
following a significant volume signal. For these reasons, we strongly advise
you against following an open position on our "Best Trade" feature. Should
you wish to do so regardless, please assure that you have access to
real-time intraday volume charts.
In the following, we would like to show you the
motivating factors that led us to take above trades. For this purpose, we have
created what we call a 'Table of Trade Motivators':

The market's
advance began to accelerate throughout the latter half of the afternoon,
but in doing so it also caused the market to produce a large amount of
selling volume to the upside. This large selling VMA surge to the
upside came to a peak at 15:15. At the end of the day the market also
produced a moderate buying VMA surge to the downside. |
These are the trades which netted the returns
