    Is it possible to realize small .2 - .5% profits throughout the day manually spread trading QQQ vs. SPY on the 1M time frame?

    1) Friday was an "exceptional" day for that because of expiration and the political rumblings. :cool:
    2) What you're suggesting can be done but you're very likely overestimating the profit you can make per trade. :eek:
    3) Wait until January to start trading it. :)

    If you are looking a little bit long term, you can use the same strategy for ADI and TXN. Check out the charts. I do this trade a lot. Now it is a prime time to short ADI and buy TXN. You will get 4% in less than a month. Good thing is that the risk is very limited or none (relative in stock trading). You have to do it in large volume to make sense.At least $50K. I would go with $300K
