  Examples of our signals, as well as examples of our email alerts, can be found on our "Trading Signals Example" page.

• Do you send email alerts? When do you send them?

  We send emails daily after the market closes. Since our trading system is more oriented to mid-term ETFs traders, it uses daily market data to analyze the market and generate signals. After the market closes, our system collects and analyzes the index data. Based on the results of the analysis, our system may generate a signal or leave the current position (trade) unchanged. As a rule, email alerts are sent out to our subscribers between 17:00 and 19:00 EST. Occasionally, email alerts are sent later if additional analysis is required.
  
  There are seven types of signals that our trading system can issue:

  1. When a "Long" signal is generated;
  2. When a "Short" signal is generated;
  3. When a trade is opened;
  4. When the system recommends to enter or change a stop-loss
  5. When a "Cash" signal is generated;
  6. When a trade is closed;
  7. When there are no changes in a signal.

• I have signed for your service, but your system is already in the position (trade is already opened). How do I follow your signal?

  If you subscribed for our signals and you see that our system is already in position - the signal was generated before you signed up and the trade remains open - we may recommend that you check the stop-loss price first.
  
  A stop loss price that has been set, tells you that our system is warning of the possibility of a trend reversal and this warning is strong enough to think about profit protection or cutting losses, but not strong enough to close a trade or generate the opposite signal. In this case, we recommend that you wait for a new signal, since the current signal could be closed soon.
  
  If a stop-loss has not been set and you have decided to follow our signal, the easiest way to do so is to use the dollar-cost-averaging principle. We can recommend splitting the dollar amount that you have decided to use with our system into three or four parts and invest only 25-30% (one part only) in the previously opened signal. If our system continues to stay in the position longer than a month and you still would like to follow our signal, you can invest the second part, and then the third and the fourth.

• What happens if your stop-loss is triggered?

  If the stop-loss is triggered, our signal is closed at the stop-loss price and our system remains in "cash" until a new signal is generated.

• Can I use leveraged ETFs with your signals?

  Yes, you may use leveraged ETFs as long as they track the indexes our system work with: NASDAQ 100, S&P 500, DJI, S&P 500 Financials and Russell 2000. However, you may need to use inverse leveraged funds when a "Short" signal is generated.

•  Can I use Rydex or other index tracking funds with your signals?

   Yes, you may use Rydex, ProFunds, Potomac and other index tracking funds as long as the track indexes our system work with: NASDAQ 100, S&P 500, DJI, S&P 500 Financials and Russell 2000.
  
  You must keep in mind that index funds usually are traded once a day after the market closes and a buy or sell order very often should be completed at least 30 minutes before the market closes. Our signals are generated after the market closes and, if you decide to apply our signals to index funds, you will be able to open and close a position only at the market close on the next day after a signal is generated. In this case, you may want to do additional technical analysis to see if you should follow a signal.

• Can I use options with your signals?

  Our signals are developed to satisfy the needs of mid-term ETFs traders. Since our system may stay in the position for a lengthy period, we recommend that you do not use our signal to trade options. Options lose their value with time and waiting in the position could be "suicidal" for an options trader - ETF could be in profit, but options on this ETF could expire worthless.
  
  We believe that an experienced options trader may use our signals indirectly to trade options. Our system attempts to spot mid-term market movements and an options trader may adjust his/her trading strategy to trade only those options signals that agree with our confirmed mid-term trend.
  
  For instance: if our system generated a "Long" signal and this is confirmed by up-movement, an options trader can adjust his/her trading system to trade only "Buy Calls" or "Sell Short Puts" signals. Alternatively, if our system generated a "Short" signal and this is confirmed by down-movement, an options trader may adjust his/her trading system to trade only "Buy Puts" or "Sell Calls" signals.

• Can I use my pension account with your signals?

  IRA and 401k accounts can be used to buy ETFs: QQQQ, SPY, DIA, IWM and FLX. However, you may run into some restriction, such as not being able to trade on margin and not being able to sell short. We can recommend that you contact your broker with this question to receive a complete and correct answer. If this is the case, and you still would like to trade short and use leverage, we recommend that you consider using inverse and leveraged ETFs or index tracking funds.
