Why Volume Is Everything
From Baltimore – In today’s video, you’ll hear from Manward Press founder Andy Snyder about an exciting investment strategy you’ve probably never heard of before.
I’ve known Andy for a long time. He’s a good friend (and the former Editorial Director at The Oxford Club), as well as one of the most unique traders I know.
Andy’s trading philosophy truly stands out. While most traders focus almost entirely on market prices, Andy’s approach to trading is focused on a different metric altogether: volume. And it’s one that gives him a unique edge.
“If you’re not using volume in your trading strategy, you’re totally missing out,” Andy tells Market Wake-Up Call host and Associate Franchise Publisher Rachel Gearhart. “Price is not everything… It’s 10% of the equation.”
According to Andy, monitoring stock market volume is essential to any serious trading success. He does this with an array of volume-based technical indicators that he uses to identify the momentum behind a stock’s price trend.
“I’ve been running volume strategies for almost 15 years now,” Andy says in today’s video. “To me, volume is everything.” In his nearly 20 years in the market, Andy says he’s uncovered some amazing trades by following volume trends.
But it’s not just volume trends in stocks he looks at. Andy says it’s also critical to look at volume in the options market.
This year, in response to the pandemic, market volume, for both stocks and options, has trended upward, as you can see in the chart above. This means that Andy’s volume indicators have been particularly informative.
In fact, his latest trading system has been benefiting from this high-volume environment and has proven able to generate incredible money-doubling gains within a very short time frame: just one month.
The system leverages big moves in volume in order to collect big gains on his trades. But his real secret lies in knowing when to expect huge volume moves.
That’s where Wall Street’s big Rollover Events come in. They take place on the third Friday of every month and heavily affect the options market. It’s on this day each month that Wall Street institutions are forced to move MILLIONS – if not billions – of dollars in capital due to options expiration.
For example, last month alone, average daily volume for equities index options soared 60% year over year, from 3.4 million to 5.4 million contracts traded.
“What I’ve discovered is that the huge money rollover on the third Friday of every month causes certain options prices to jump,” says Andy. “And if you find the right options and move BEFORE Wall Street, on the third Thursday of each month, your options can jump in price very quickly…”
Andy’s recent study into Rollover Events has shown that over the course of one year, trading these unique monthly Rollover Events could have grown a mere $5,000 starting stake in each play into more than $124,000.
The results are incredibly impressive. Especially when one considers that few traders are even aware of these monthly spikes in volume around option expiry.
Andy has committed countless hours of research to these Rollover Events and has fine-tuned his trading strategy to profit from them. So far, the results from his back test reveal that his system delivered an average of 158% per trade in just 30 days or less.
That includes all the big winners, as well as the occasional losers, for an overall win rate of 83%. Anyone who’s traded long enough knows how impressive that performance is!
