March 8, 2004.

• On March 3, 2004, a "Call" Signal was generated. You can see the big volume surge in the NASDAQ 100 index and the associated reversal point very clearly ; as a result, a trading signal was issued by our system.
   
• On March 8, 2004, a trade was opened in accordance with the signal issued three days prior. We bought QQQQ calls at $0.80 per contract.
   
• On March 26, 2004, the trade was closed in accordance with our signal. We decided to reduce the "Suggested Exit Price" and close the signal for several reasons:
   
  1. We opened a trade in bad position. As such, it's better to close the position and reconsider our analysis so we can find out where the mistake was made and how to avoid it in the future.
      
  2. The expiration for these options contracts were approaching, which means that chances for value of the contracts to move substantially higher will lessen and that it would be difficult to close the position near its original opening price.
      
  3. Our options signals are generally only intended for a short-term trading. It is risky to keep an options position open for more than one month.
      
  4. We are not afraid to show a negative trade, since we couldn't have kept a 100% winning streak forever. We think it's better to fix losses than wait for the contracts to become worthless or of such low liquidity that it's impossible to exit the position.

  We sold our QQQQ calls at $0.20 per contract and took a 75% losses.

March 30, 2004.

• On March 29, 2004, a "Call" Signal was generated.
   
• On March 30, 2004, a trade was opened in accordance with the signal issued three days prior. We bought QQQQ calls at $1.60 per contract.
   
• On April 2, 2004, the trade was closed in accordance with our signal. We sold our QQQQ calls at $2.35 per contract and took a 47% profit.
