Margin issues aside, on days where you are still seeing momentum in your favor, does anyone hold index futures overnight and just lay in a...
Yep, I am paper-trading this DD.....never thought about it before although I've heard of it. Will be interesting to see what happens.
Aside from buying/selling the actual stock, anyone ever thought about using the NQ futures contract as a proxy for firms like AAPL, GOOG, that can...
Yah, part of me is still debating whether or not to sell a few ES and YM minis with tight stops before heading off to bed.....
