The QQQ, also known as the "Cubes" (or "Qubes"), track the NASDAQ-100 Index, which consists of 100 of the biggest and most important stocks of the NASDAQ Composite Index. Based on the NASDAQ-100 Index Tracking Stock, QQQ options have become very popular in recent years. They are the most liquid option currently traded on the market.

For beginners and advanced options traders alike, our QQQ options signals are very easy to follow (click here for an example). A signal can take one of two forms: "Buy Put" (to purchase a put option or "put") or "Buy Call" (to buy a call option or "call").

Concurrent with the issue of a trading signal, the system provides several options parameters that are necessary for making trading decisions and placing actual trades:

Option symbol;
Name and symbol of the underlying security (i.e., "QQQ");
Option strike price;
Expiration date of the option;
Suggested entry price;
Suggested exit price;

At the time a signal is issued, the trading system also provides a number of alternate (but closely related) option symbols, which may be traded in accordance with the main signal. This feature allows you to tailor your trading approach: you may choose to trade an option that is associated with more risk than the main option, or vice versa - it all depends on your personal preferences and risk tolerance.

If you have decided to follow a signal, our "Suggested Entry Price" and "Suggested Exit Price" become the most important parameters associated with opening and closing a trade. For a particular put or call, our most general trading recommendation can be summarized as follows:

Buy puts / calls when those puts / calls trade at or below the "Suggested Entry Price";
Sell puts / calls when those puts / calls trade at or above the "Suggested Exit Price".

The fact that a new options trading signal has been issued does not necessarily imply that a trade will always take place. There are situations where the market does not reach our "Suggested Entry Price". When this happens, the trading signal will usually "expire" within a few trading days. For instance, assume a new trading signal was issued (published) on a particular day. If, following that date, no trade is initiated within three trading days, the signal will expire and we will cancel it. The reason we at times cancel a signal is to protect you against losses - options are decaying (wasting) assets and lose a portion of their value each day.

Our options trading system is highly flexible. If a trade is not initiated in accordance with a signal, the old signal can be cancelled and a new signal issued at a later time. It is understood that stocks can be very volatile and that market situations may change in an instant. What was the right trade yesterday might be completely inappropriate today. We take this into account in the following way: once an options trade has been initiated in accordance with one of our signals, the only parameter we may change from that point on is our "Suggested Exit Price". We may do this in order to (a) increase profits or (b) reduce losses.

The following lists all the possible options signal adjustments that can occur following a signal issue or a trade initiation:

A signal was issued, but no trade has yet been initiated:
- The signal may expire;
- We may cancel the old signal (the signal that was just issued);
- We may issue a new signal;
- A trade may be initiated in accordance with our "Suggested Entry Price".
A trade was initiated in accordance with a previously issued signal:
- We may adjust our "Suggested Exit Price";
- We may close the trade in accordance with our "Suggested Exit Price".

Should any of the above changes apply to a recently issued options signal, the modifications will be posted on our members’ home page the same day the signal changes become effective. You will also receive a signals email alert (assuming you signed up for this service – see below) that reflects all the changes.

Our trading signals are updated daily by 8:30 pm EST. You can access the most current signal for a particular options trade by checking our members’ home page. In addition, we also notify our subscribers by email about the current signals status, as well as about any other changes. In order to receive trading signals by email alert, you need to register your email address on the members’ home page. Prior to this, you must have opened an account for our QQQ options trading service.

Email alerts are available: (1) in a standard format, and (2) in a cell phone format, where we reduce the size of the message to a bare minimum, in order to accommodate the text size limitations for cell phones.

Although we also incorporate other forms of market analysis into our decision making process, the basic principle behind the generation of our trading signals is a process called "volume technical analysis". To better understand how signals are generated, we have illustrated all the trades in our trade history with charts. These indicate the exact points at which signals were generated. The charts also reveal where trades were initiated and terminated. All of our chart examples are supported by brief explanations that show why a particular options signal was generated.

The best way to learn more about the QQQ options trading system is to browse through our site - you will find further details about the points we discussed above. We sincerely hope this information will help you move forward in your options trading.
