Ok that makes sense the way you explain it. Thanks for taking the time I appreciate it.
I think we're saying the same thing.. If the S&P 500 goes up the ES isn't going down, and the S&P 500 index doesn't follow ES so that leaves...
I said ES follows the S&P index. I didn't say they are always at the same price. You're talking about something else.
But wouldn't it be better to analyze the index rather than an ETF, even if one was going to invest in the ETF? I trade ES and I analyze ES. I...
To give a non-specific example (wish I had a specific one).. I've seen someone analyse SPY volume and say something like "this high was on higher...
Very good point, one which I had not thought of. :) But they could still analyze the S&P index. Wouldn't that be more accurate?
But why would a firm tie up a couple million dollars in SPY when they could just tie up 40k in ES? This is the part that I don't get.
I'm curious who trades SPY? Do professionals trade it? Smart money? I figure any really good trader would trade ES, so I'm wondering who that...
Thanks. From looking around their site it seems they don't have much and you have to pay for what they have. The US exchanges are much more...
I sure can't find one. What about put/call ratios and other breadth data? TRIN? Advance/Decline line? No wonder everyone trades ES. ;)
I'd like to know if the German stock exchange has a TICK index like the NYSE?
Ok this makes sense. I knew this played a role in currency futures but didn't really think about it for index futures. Thanks.
Thanks for the link, can you give a resume? It is a bit intimidating. I was a bit disappointed when I went to roll over this morning and saw...
I was going to rollover a short ES position but I didn't understand why September is 4 pts under June. In the past I've seen the later contract...
Just to vouch for ninjatrader, I've never had any problems with ninjatrader not filling orders. I've had some bugs where an order would trigger...
Hi Raker thanks for your contribution. I think there is some confusion between NeoTicker and Ninjatrader. I was referring to Ninjatrader...
Now that you mention it, I will tell you that I had a strategy that traded a basket of 70+ stocks. While doing backtesting with this strategy,...
Most of my strategies could be written out in a paragraph or two. I like to keep things simple. I don't doubt that Neoticker can do some really...
Previously I was trading stocks and I wanted to see if I could form an index and then get an edge for the stocks I was trading. I later started...
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make other than to argue about whether I like NeoTicker or not. I don't have to justify or prove...
