spread vs volatility?

Better to just dive right in, IMO. No record keeping requirements. Preferential tax treatment. S/R behavior that is not obvious looking at QQQQ. Clean T&S. No execution games. Leverage. Rarely any slippage.

 

interesting, I´ll look at it in sim mode for a couple of weeks.

 

If you can chart two issues together, look at NQ and QQQQon say, a one minute chart. I think you'll see a difference. My apologies if I am wrong, haven't done that for years, switched to NQ maybe 5 years ago.

 

ER2 would be another candidate. Its the Russell 2000 futures.

 

What do you think is better about ER2 than NQ, or ES for that matter?
