Index Technical Analysis - Stock Charts for Trading

Index-Technical-Analysis, an affiliate of MarketVolume (a service providing real-time volume charts for stocks, ETFs Indexes and Exchanges), develops the "Best Trade" informational newsletters. This weekly newsletter deals with trading based on a volume-based technical analysis of the main US indexes (S&P 500, DJI, Russell 2000 and NASDAQ 100).

A group of independent professional traders who have close ties to MarketVolume has developed these newsletter. One of the professional traders, willing to share his trading experiences of trading with volume-based indicators, came up with the proposal of starting main elements of technical analysis via educational newsletters. The idea took shape and by 2001, technical analysis newsletters were lunched.

Please bear in mind that "Index technical Analysis" newsletters were designed solely for educational purposes only. They do not provide signals, therefore, they should be solely used as an example of possible volume based technical analysis.

Because our "Index Technical Analysis" newsletters have a long history (we began sending them out in 2001), an extensive archive of trades is available. Click here to browse through archive.

Looking through the archive, you will notice that "Index Technical Analysis" newsletters categorize two types of trades:

1. "Past trades" or "closed" trades: These are trades that were closed a few days before  "Index Technical Analysis" chart example was published;
2. "Real-time" or "open" trades: These trades are still active at the time the most current issue of an  "Index Technical Analysis" newsletter. The success of an open trade cannot be evaluated until a later date, although we can of course assess its "performance to date".

1. The newsletter will definitively reach you with some delay, so it might prove to be too late to open/close a position similar to the trade being discussed;
2. Another reason is technical in nature. Because all our trades are analyzed based on the relationships between volume and price/index movements (which may all change in rapid succession), you must absolutely have access to real-time volume charts for the S&P 500 and NASDAQ-100 indexes, at a very minimum. ''

In our trades, we focus mostly on QQQ options, but the principles discussed in the "Index Technical Analysis" newsletters can be applied equally well to the analysis of the S&P 500, the DJI, as well as other indexes.

By studying the trades we discuss in the "Index Technical Analysis" newsletters, you will:

• Learn how to apply volume based indicators to particular market situations;
• Understand the specific correlations that exist between volume spikes, money flow, volume accumulation and index movements;
• Develop the skills to create your own trading system (strategy) based on the principles of volume-based technical indicators.
