I'm referring to intra-day moves only and the fact that the spoos back and fill much more then the Russell and the NQ. And I believe that one cannot simply be a breakout trader or range trader. You have to be able to trade both. We trade the range days in the spoos just as well as the trending days.
What ones? I can't find any. Everybody says there are many prop firms that trade emini but nobody can give a name of just one.
Are you serious? Come on man, do a search on this site. Upper right hand corner. There are 5k posts on the subject. Jeez.
Don, I was curious about the .75 cents vs. $4 a r/t comparison also? If a futures trader were paying $4 r/t all in per contract, wouldn't you compare that to an equivalent position in equities? Say 1 mini NQ contract would be roughly 800 shs. of the QQQQ's. I can't say for sure what the approriate equity commission is, but .003/sh all in for each side on equities ends up being the same or a bit more for a roundtrip on the QQQQ 800 sh equivalent. Let me know if I'm off base here, as I would like to know. Thanks
Did Don ever answer this? I'm not sure if Don was trying to make a point about commissions, but futures commisons are much cheaper then stock commissions. But he seemed to make the inverse argument, so obviously I'm missing something.
