Those are one of my top indicators. I use the NQ as an overlay on my charts when trading Naz stocks and ES with Dows.

Seanote, Great job you are doing and thanks for keeping up the journal. What size trading a/c are u using? Maybe you covered this but I couldn't find it. Cheers
I'm not going to give my equity figure but I've been doing this for 6 years and have produced on average as am now for the past 3 1/2 years. I've taken quite a bit out over time to allocate in different investments outside of stocks. I'm also about to buy a house which is going to take a good % out of my trading account but I will still have plenty of BP to trade the way I have even I decide to increase my share size. I take out a certain amount each quarter to live off of and that's it. I don't have a debit card linked to my brokerge account or anything like that. That's an easy way to deplete your equity.
seanote,do you know if the short sale rule applies during premarket and post market trading on nasdaq stocks?
Short sale rule doesn't apply pre and post market on Naz or Listeds. You can't short Listeds after the close at a price lower than the 4:00 est closing price.
