Matthew, . I use three chart time frames: 1) long term-- week* chart; 2) intermediate term-- day chart; and 3) short term-- sixty minute chart.* Are these "interval" settings on QCharts? ~arno

Matt, Very impressed with your call on a long play with the QQQ, very near perfect. I had been short the QQQ with Aug 85 puts, and missed the move yest. (sleeping, working nights), (what a time to be working nights). So here are my thoughts, it looks as though the QQQ is going further add to its gains yest. and may for another day or two. But even with the market neutral numbers (unemployment report) out this am. my feeling is that the Nas. will sell off in the next week or two and really needs to retest the May lows. The Nas even with yest. surge is approx. 130 points below its 200 ma. So rather than sell into todays strength and loss, my thought is to increase my putt position with the Aug. 85's. Are your charts able to give you direction enough to add insight into my position. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Glad I stumbled onto this site. Regards

Hi Matt, I'm new to the thread, but have been lurking for a while. I was impressed with your August 3 call on the Q's. I've been studying them myself and am interested in trading options on it. I've done fairly well with OEX options, but the QQQ appeals to me because of lower premiums, great liquidity and the sort of volatility that makes options move. Do you trade the options, or just the Q's itself? I'd appreciate any thoughts you may have along these lines. Ken
