hi, I know lot of people trade ES. What are the reasons that people prefer ES over others other than liquidity. Thanks for any reply.
Agreed. I sense in NQ rhythms and intonations in multiple time frames which draw my brain and my body into sympathetic harmonies. I would rather trade NQ than have sex. I have quantified these mental perceptions into physical colors and sounds and harmonic levels of such ineffability and surpassing beauty that sometimes I forget to trade. NQ is musical. ES I view as crass. An unfit object for my aesthetically refined attention.
Dude, you really gotta get a life. You'd rather trade NQ than have sex? How about trade NQ <i>while</i> you're having sex? Now that would be a trip. If you trade NQ well enough finding the sex would be the easy part
But, in all seriousness, people trade different contracts for different reasons. I tried trading the ER2 and....well....the sucker still owes me a few grand The ES, on the other hand....I can read that contract like a book. The behavior to me is just flat out readable. The NQ comes pretty close to the ES but the moves tend to last longer and I'm a fader so I need to have a good idea when the moves will end. To each his own.......
