FAQs

How do I access the signals?

Go to the 'Performance' page of this site and the current signal is at the top of the page. It is not necessary to register because I don't send out e-mail alerts or market updates but if you would like to register, please feel free to do so, for it helps me understand how many people are interested in accessing these signals.

How much does your service cost?

My service is FREE of charge. Just go to the 'Performance' page of this site and you will see the most current signal in effect. If you find you have benefited from my service in anyway, please feel free to send me an email and let me know at oneqtrades@yahoo.com.

What investment instruments do you trade with your system?

I recommend using the Nasdaq Composite tracking stock (ONEQ) for my “buy” and “sell” signals. I have developed my system around the Nasdaq Composite and ONEQ most closely correlates with the Nasdaq Composite. But other tracking stocks such as the Nasdaq 100 (QQQQ), the Diamonds (DIA) and the Spiders (SPY) will work well too.

How will I know when there is a signal change?

Because this is a free service, I do not send out e-mail alerts for the 'Buy' and 'Cash' signals but the most current signal is always on display at the top of the 'Performance' page. My signals are an 'end of day' signal and if there is a change in the signal, it will be posted on the 'Performance' page by 12:45 pm pacific standard time giving you plenty of time to execute the trade before the end of the trading day or at the opening of the market the next morning. Also, if I determine that either a 'buy' or 'sell' signal is imminent, I will start providing alert messages at the top of the home page a few days before the signal so everyone can get an idea of what day it might take place.

How are the “buy” and “sell” signals determined?

The “buy” and “sell” signals generated are purely mechanical, with no emotion involved and are determined at the end of each trading day. My system is a trend following system that determines the most likely direction of the intermediate trend for the next 1 to 4 months.

Is your system a “market timing” system?

No. I do not try to time the tops or bottoms of the Nasdaq Composite market. I believe it is extremely difficult to time or predict the market and I prefer to follow the intermediate trend that is created by hedge funds and mutual funds. My system will never “buy” at the bottom and “sell” at the top but will seek to capture the majority of the intermediate trend.

If I follow your system in the middle of a signal, should I trade or wait till the next signal?

The intermediate trends can last anywhere from 1 month to 12 months and I have no way of knowing before hand how long the signal will last before a sell signal is issued. If you are concerned about the signal changing right after you place a trade based on my 'buy' signal, then place your trades in 2 or 3 equal amounts over the next few weeks to help average out the up and down swings of the market.

Do you trade your signals with your own money?

Absolutely YES!!! I developed this system originally for myself out of a frustration with being told that they only way to make money in the stock market is to “buy and hold” and hope that the stock market will go up forever. After I lost a lot of money during the 2000-2002 bear market, I determined to never let that happen again. I have both a cash account and a retirement account that I trade using my own signals.

Do you “short sell” during a market decline?

No. I do not “short sell”. The stock market spends the majority of the time in uptrends versus downtrends so I believe it is more profitable and less risky to make money when the market is in an uptrend. Therefore, during “sell” signals, I prefer to be in the safety of cash and wait for the next “buy” signal. Also, I believe many people are uncomfortable with “short selling” and not familiar with it so my system is perfect for the conservative trader and not for the day trader or very active trader.

What if I want to profit from a market decline?

If you want to profit from a market decline, and know how to “short” the market, then wait for a sell signal and “short” the ONEQ or any ETF that you feel comfortable with, at the end of the trading day when a new signal is generated or at the open of the market the following day. I would however recommend not using any leverage.

Do you use any leverage when you buy the ONEQ?

Yes. The stock market spends the majority of the time in uptrends, therefore I believe using some leverage is very beneficial. My system determines very accurately the beginning of intermediate trends that can last anywhere from 1 month to 12 months and using leverage can multiply your gains. I personally use 1.5x leverage in every one of my “buy” signal trades. If you are not comfortable using leverage when trading, then by all means, trade only with the money you have in your cash account. My “Performance” page shows both the returns for using leverage and not using leverage for comparison sake.

Are your signals 'Intra-day' prices or 'End-of-day' prices?

'End-of-day' prices. If you are able to access real-time Nasdaq prices and can determine near the end of the trading day, as near as possible to 4:00pm E.S.T., that my 'Buy' or 'Cash' signals will be reached, then issue the corresponding 'Buy' or 'Sell' signal with your e-broker.

How do I cancel my subscription to OneQtrades.com?
