How to trade Options using our QQQQ trading signals?
Our QQQQ trading signals were designed to satisfy the
demands of mid- and long-term QQQQ traders. These are generally traders
who wish to make no more than 10 to 20 conservative trades per year (or
an average of roughly 1-2 trades a month). Our QQQQ signals easily
satisfy this requirement.
We remind you that options trading is highly risky.
Should you decide to trade options based on our QQQQ signals, we
recommend that you observe a few simple rules:
- After a winning options trade, reinvest only
the original trade principal, never the principal plus the profit!
For instance, if you allocated $1000 to options trading and assuming
a previous trade resulted in a $500 profit, we strongly advise
against reinvesting the full $1500 into your next options trade.
Instead, commit only the original $1000. In this way, should you
experience a (total) loss due to an option expiring worthless, you
would still have the $500 (i.e., your profit from the previous
trade);
- Invest only a small portion of your assets
into options - an amount that will fit your personal trading
needs and risk tolerance. In our opinion, that amount should make up
about 10% of your total portfolio value; it should never exceed 30%.
- A "Long" signal can be used to purchase call
options. When we issue a "Long" signal, we expect the market
move higher. Accordingly, you could profit by buying QQQQ shares or
QQQQ call options (calls);
- A "Short" signal can be used to buy put
options. When we issue a "Short" signal, we anticipate that the
market will decline. In such a situation, you may profit by selling
short QQQQ shares or by purchasing QQQQ put options (puts);
- A "Cash" signal indicates that we are closing
out any open positions;
- Purchase options with at least 3 months left
to expiration. Because our signals were developed for mid-term
trading applications, we might remain in a position anywhere from
one to 7 weeks. Purchasing options that expire within the current
month or during the following month could therefore be very risky.
Due to the rapid decay of their time value, options that are close
to expiry can expire worthless, even before a signal is closed;
- Choose the right options strikes. For call
options, we recommend selecting the highest strike price that is in
the money at the time a trade is initiated. Conversely, for the put
options, choose the lowest strike price that is in the money when
the trade is opened;

Disclaimer:
Options trading is very risky and not suitable for every
investor. |
