10 Most Frequently Asked Questions
What do you mean by Market Stage in the Market
Commentary?
In the Market Stage you may find an overview of the current market
condition and volume based technical analysis of different timeframes in
relation to the mid- and long term trends. At the dame time, in this
section, you may see a discussion of the indications that may lead the
indexes into overbought/oversold condition and as a result towards a
trend reversal. We do not generate trading signals, what we do give
you is information on overall sentiment on the market and what what trend
direction could be expected in future with guideline and tips on using
our charts and indicators to confirm a trend and define trend reversals.
Could you simply explain how your
indicators/signals work?
The basic principle behind our volume indicators is that
volume affects
the direction of the market. If an index is moving up and the volume
moving average (VMA) is also moving up (looks like a spike), there is a
chance that the index will reverse once the VMA has begun to decline again
(once the VMA has peaked). Conversely, when an index is moving down and
the VMA is moving up, there is a chance that the index will reverse once
the VMA has peaked. The larger and wider a VMA spike is, the higher the
chance that a reversal in the index will soon occur. There are also
scenarios where one spike in the VMA is not enough to cause a reversal in
the index. When there are several VMA spikes during a small period
(concurrent VMA spikes/signals), there is often a good chance that the
index will reverse due to the cumulative effect of these VMA spikes. You
should always pay close attention to WHERE the VMA spike occurs, as
sometimes half of the VMA spike occurs as the index is moving up, and the
other half occurs as the index is moving down. When this happens, the
total effect of the VMA spike cancels itself out and will generally not
affect the market.
What do you mean by
short, mid, and long-term in your Market Outlook?
A long-term trend is defined as a general market trend that usually
lasts for up to several years.
A mid-term trend is defined as a general market trend that usually lasts
from several weeks to several months.
A short-term trend is defined as a general market trend that usually
lasts from one to several days.
Intraday trend (also called short-term) is defined as a general market
trend that usually lasts within a single session.
When do you update the Market Outlook?
The Market Outlook is updated by 8:00 PM EST every market day.
Sometimes the Market Outlook could be updated later due to unusual
market situations.
What does Selling and Buying Volume Mean?
Buying Volume:
Also known as
Buying
VMA spike(s),
Buying
Volume to the Upside, Bullish volume, or
just
Buying
Volume.
When we mention volume to the upside in our site, we are referring to any
volume which occurred as the index was moving up.
Selling Volume:
Also known as
Selling
VMA spike(s),
Selling
Volume to the
Downside, Bearish volume, or just
Selling
Volume.
When we mention volume to the downside in our site, we are referring to
any volume which occurred as the index was moving down.
What is the difference between your subscription
packages?
We have 3 different subscription packages. The main difference between
them is access to specific charts and chart features. To see a comparison between each subscription package

I can't get access to any of your charts.
There are several reasons you may be encountering this problem. First, you
could have security and/or privacy set to high in Internet Explorer.
Secondly, you could have java scripting disabled, OR you may have a 3rd
party utility installed that stops pop-up windows from loading. Also,
sometimes by simply closing all open browser windows and re-logging into
the site fixes the problem.
I don't see any buy and sell signal lines on my
chart, but I saw them in your Chart School examples and your Chart of the
Week.
With MarketVolume's indicators you get a chart of the index, and VMA spikes, which help you to determine reversal points of the
index. Buy and sell lines are imaginary lines which we add to our example
charts to help illustrate to our subscribers what signals to look for. The
actual reversal point signals are the volume moving average (VMA) spikes
that occur as the index is moving up or down. The chances that the index
will reverse go up as the VMA spike increases, or if the VMA spike lasts a
long time.
How many
charts can I have open on my computer?
You can open as many charts as you want on your computer, or at least as
many as your computer's memory or monitor will hold. A simple way to open new charts
is by using the link on the members' home page. To increase the scale of the chart (the spacing between
each volume bar), you can resize the chart by pressing the maximize
button, or by resizing the chart like you do with any window. The higher
your screen resolution, the larger the scale you can get.
When I subscribe will I be able to get alerts
of when to buy and sell via email?
MarketVolume® does not currently provide it's subscribers with actual
recommended trades. What MarketVolume® does provide are charts,
unique technical indicators (studies), information in
relation to the current MARKET TREND for all the major indexes, and when
to expect the indexes to change direction.
Therefore, instead of providing
our customers with individual trades, we provide them with proprietary
tools that delivers the information
about the current market conditions, and where the market will be heading
in the short, mid, and long-term future. We feel that this is much better
than blindly following someone's suggested trades.
