The MTR system is based on closing prices and the prenotification notice tells us to buy or sell on the next days market close of the Value Line. Members should check on the Value Line index 5 minutes before the close and determine if the index must be bought or sold. Most of the time the index at 5 minutes before the close will either be at a level far away from either a buy or sell so no action has to be taken. However, sometimes the index is very close to either a buy or sell or the market is moving so fast that it might not be possible to see if the index is closing at a level that a buy or sell would be indicated. In these circumstances members should wait for the next day to make the trade. The system of prenotification is not perfect.  I believe that it will be a more efficient system from what did exist prior to the new procedure. One caveat is in order here. I assume that the member has access to up to the minute quotes and not delayed quotes. To use the 5 minute rule one must have up to the minute quotes.

5 minutes before the close is a good tip. Yahoo! Finance is suppose to have real-time quotes, not on the chart, but on the top of the page is says "real time" and another quoted price appears there. If you chose Yahoo! the symbol is ^VAY. This is for the Value Line Arithmetic Index and not the Geometric Index.
