Hello,

Someone recently told me that you could trade options on QQQ and since then I've been reving my tools to do so. Happened on this thread and wondered if there is some significance to the 10DMA relative to the QQQ BP.

10DMA seem to be popular w/ other (PnF) indicators (HiLo and A/D come to mind). I looked at earlier data, and w/ some fudging one might use it as a 'sell' signal when the BP dipped below the 10DMA and 'buy' when it peers above it--although that's obviously too simplistic. I would appreciate it if you could elaborate a bit on how you use it. (Feel free to tell me to look elsewhere if this has already been discussed, but I could not find it).

Thanks.

Oh... and if anyone has experience trading QQQ options vs NDX options, I wouldn't mind hearing how that compares in general. (And I thot the SP500 was getting overkill w/ all it's trading vehicles... NDX is one up-ing them on this one :-)

BulLish Support Line (BLSL); BulLish Resistance Line (BLRL); BeaRish Support Line (BRSP); BeaRish Resistance Line (BRRL) and High Pole Formation (HPF).

Big time resistance from the previous all time horizontal high at 122; the 3rd BLRL off the bottom at 128 and the unofficial BRRL waiting at 120. The chart is still long term bullish (trading above the BLSL down at 84) and short term bullish (on a buy signal at 110). I've drawn in a revised BLSL for support and you can see it sitting at 104, along with previous horizontal bottoms.

Now here's a 10 Day Moving Average Bullish % Index of the same data but only through the 11th. Because it's a 10 Day Moving Average, it might not have reversed up. It's in Bear Confirmed Risk Status.

Take care,
