Frequently Asked Questions
How can I receive Volume Alerts?
As a premium Market Tells subscriber, you should already receive Volume Alert signals via email (if you’re not, please contact us as it means we don’t have your correct address on file.) In addition, we offer text message alerts for U.S. residents. If you’d like to begin receiving a text when a signal is triggered, please contact us with your cell phone number and carrier name.

What are Volume alerts based on?
This is a completely new strategy based primarily on volume. However, it shares some of the same features of the original TrendCatcher concept in that it attempts to identify and then trade with the institutional money flow. It’s different in that it utilizes volume in conjunction with NYSE TICK data to trigger both entries and stops.

How often is there a trade?
It depends on market conditions. In volatile periods, we’ll see 2-3 trades a week. In quiet times, we could go a week or more without a signal. Overall, it averages out to 7-8 trades per month.

Can I see a track record?
Yes, a track record for the Volume Alert signal since early 2007 is available here.

What’s been the worst drawdown?
The largest peak-to-trough drawdown has been 2.7% for the Volume Alerts strategy. See equity curve.

What’s the win/loss ratio?
Approximately 67% of signals are winners.

What is your average hold time? Do you ever hold overnight?
All signals are for the day only. In most cases, we hold a trade from the time it’s activated until the close. Over 80% of Volume Alert signals are held until the close (that’s the cash close at 4pm ET).

Do you employ stops?
Yes, we utilize a proprietary stop to take us out of trades that are not going our way. Like the entry, it’s completely mechanical and reacts quickly if there’s evidence that the trend is waning. Otherwise, the strategy is designed to keep you in right into the close as long as conditions remain favorable.
