    Hi.

    I was wondering if anybody could tell me what amount of contracts would be considered smart money in NQ?

    The reason I am asking is because I am going to adjust my filter, but not shure how big.

    Thanks for any help.

    Just put a 50 contract filter on T&S, 100 really filters out too much,
    notice I did not use the word CAR!

    You will see more "momentum" on a volume chart than times and sales, when the volume picks up on say a 5000 share chart, you will see more bars, IMO, easier to detect a trend than a "fast" T&S.

    What is smart money as opposed to dumb money, most smart money trades small or averages in these days!

    good trading,
