Trading QQQQ:
Our QQQ Trading Signals are based on a trading system which was initially developed by Highlight Investment's research group. The foundation of our QQQ Trading Signals is based on volume and advance decline technical analysis applied to the NASDAQ 100 index. We have had a lot of feedback from our subscribers at MarketVolume, and they have complete trust in our product. They see that they can profit handsomely by using a system which is based on technical analysis to which they have become accustomed. To satisfy the demands of our users from MarketVolume, we have created "QQQ-Trading-System" which is a result of MarketVolume's analysis presented in clear signals of when to buy and sell.
This trading system is not 100 percent mechanical as it does have a level of subjectivity. The basic technology behind this trading system is MarketVolume and its system of volume technical analysis. MarketVolume's proprietary charting technology allows to make informed, but still somewhat subjective, decisions as to where the market is going in the short-, mid- and long-term, and to make a trade based on the results of that analysis. Also keep mind that this system also incorporated other forms of technical analysis.
Our trading system has been tested by professional traders with whom we have built a close relationship. These traders have learned our trading system inside-out and are able to -based on volume analysis- make very profitable trading decisions.
We hope that you will give us a try so that we can prove how profitable our system really is. We are confident that through our system you will make greater returns!
