Frequently Asked Questions

A. MarketModel.com is the website used to publish a daily trade call for a stock market futures trading system developed by the owner of MarketModel.com.

A. The daily trade call is specifically meant to be used to trade the E-mini S&P 500 futures contract while the stock market is closed. Typically, the trades will be posted after the 6 pm EST futures market re-opening and prior to the 9:30 am EST stock market open the following day. You may find the information in the daily trade call useful for buying and selling individual stocks and options; however, you will be limited to trading during open market hours and therefore your results will differ.

A. The E-mini S&P 500 futures contract is the most liquid stock index future available and is based on the S&P 500 Index. For a better understanding of the E-mini, we recommend you visit this site: E-Mini Info

A. Because the E-Mini S&P 500 is one of the most liquid stock index future, there are many options available to trade it. If you currently have an account with a brokerage, ask them if they allow you to trade it. If they do not offer it, then you can easily do a search on the Internet for e-mini brokerages. At this time, we do not wish to make any brokerage recommendations, so please do your own due diligence before opening an account.

A. No. The developer of this trading system is the CEO of a multi-million dollar company and can sympathize with someone being busy. He developed this model to give someone a chance for better than market average returns with minimal time commitment. There will be at most 1 trade per day. The trade to be placed at the opening of the markets will be posted on the MarketModel.com the previous evening. This allows everyone time to place the trade well before the market opens. There is no need to monitor the trade during the day unless you so desire.

A. Yes. Because of the nature of the model and the daily trade calls, it really is not necessary for you to have any experience trading futures. You simply open an account and place the trade given for that day. However, trading futures is not for everyone and involves significant risk of loss. Everyone must take into account their own situation and make the best decision for themselves.

A. Yes and No. The trade given specifies buying or selling a specific number of contracts. That number of contracts is based upon the model's account balance. You will need to adjust this number of contracts in proportion to your account balance. For example, if the daily trade calls for buying 2 contracts and the current model account balance is $60,000, then if your account was $30,000, you would only buy 1 contract and not the 2 contracts specified in the daily trade. You will always need to adjust the number of contracts based upon your account balance compared to the model's account balance. You can also increase or decrease your margin percentage based on your own risk parameters and leverage considerations.

A. The daily trade call posted is your net position going into the following day. For example, if yesterday the model was LONG 2 contracts and today it is SHORT 2 contracts, you would enter a trade to SELL 4 contracts with your broker, which leaves your account net SHORT 2 contracts. IF you are LONG the market, you make money when the S&P500 rises and lose money when the S&P500 falls. If you are SHORT the market, you make money when the S&P500 falls and lose money when the S&P500 rises.
