What funds do you
base your signals on?
We base our mutual fund
signals on the NASDAQ 100 index because we have no way of
knowing which NASDAQ 100 tied fund that you will choose. Every
NASDAQ 100 based fund has their own price and dynamic. Sometimes
the NASDAQ 100 can move 3%, but a fund will only move 2%. It is
because of this we base our returns on the NASDAQ 100 and not
any individual fund. Click here to see a
list of mutual funds that track the NASDAQ100 index.
Do you provide 'short'
mutual fund signals?
The
main reason we don't issue short signals for our mutual fund
signals is because most funds do not allow one to go short.
There are some fund that track the inverse performance of the
NASDAQ 100, but these funds are few. Also, in order to remain
conservative, we prefer not to go short because when you are
shorting a fund there is an unlimited amount of money one can
lose, not just the initial investment.
How
do I use your 'stop-loss' with mutual funds?
One way to follow our stop-loss is to base the
stop for your fund on the percentage difference between the
price that we issue and the price of the NASDAQ 100 index for
that point in time. Unfortunately, due to the sheer multitude of
mutual funds available to trade, we cannot offer you
fund-specific stop-loss prices.

Why
do your QQQQ signals differ from your mutual fund signals?
First of all, our mutual funds signals were
mainly designed
to satisfy the needs of a more conservative type of
trader. Where our QQQQ signals go through about 10-20 trades, our
Mutual Fund signals only go through 5-12 trades.
Even through both signals track the NASDAQ 100
index, our QQQQ signals may sometimes remain in cash or even be
short while our Mutual Fund signal is in a long position. The
reason this may occur is because our Mutual Fund signals are
geared toward long-term trading whereas our QQQQ signals are
more geared towards mid-term and short-term trading.
Based on your mutual fund signals,
what funds can be traded?
There are some mutual
funds that track the NASDAQ 100 index that can be traded with
our mutual funds signals. Some of the Rydex funds, such as
Velocity 100 and OTC, can be used for this purpose, also some
funds from the ProFunds or Summit mutual fund groups, etc. We
advise that you do your own research to find the funds most
suitable for your type of trading and your risk tolerance.

signal should I use if I'm trading inverse mutual funds?
