Is trading easy?

Futures again down tonight. Maybe they reversed once overseas markets open. Or maybe in our am before RTH starts.

If not, futures will lead stonks down again. Especially once those program sells kick in - which are plainly visible watching $TICK.

 

You don't get it. That's alright. Apple has been strong against the other tech stock by at least 20% during this downturn. Good place to put money right now.
This has NOTHING to do with what I'm talking about. And your 2 minute chart doesn't show anything of what I'm talking about either.

 

Indices are the composition of a set of stocks so indices move with the stocks, not the other way around. Trading indices is the same as trading individual stocks, except that indices are usually less volatile than individual stocks.

 

Indices aren't tradeable.

 

Do what works for you bro.

 

Then stop trading index futures, or trying to understand what they are and how they work?

 

Indices I said. Not index futures dummy.

Try entering $SPX in a buy/sell box.

I entered my first index futures eMini trade ... in 1997 or 98. Cut me some slack.



Beat ya to it.

 

Options on the index, SPX/SPY, are certainly tradeable. The most liquid.

 

This thread is posted in the "index futures" section. So I thought you were on about index futures.



My bad. I am a dummy. I do not know how the NQ futures works relative to a single stock like AAPL, and how it impacts the NDX. Nope! No clue. Never mind!

Forget I am here. Indices are untradeable! You are correct! Index ETFs and mutual funds should not exist! Nope! Cannot happen! Cannot be done.

All because YOU said so.

 

One more time ... I posted.

"Indices aren't tradeable."

I did not say ETF's are not tradeable, I did not say mutual funds are not tradeable, I did not say futures are not tradeable.

I said .... (fitting I posted that Nirvana cover) ......... nevermind.
