are they not faster moving than SPY/ QQQ?

Hi all, Just thought I'd throw out a new topic for discussion. I realize a lot of people are looking for details of working setups, but personally I think the thought process in developing working systems is much more relevant. As we know most setups / patterns only work for so long and...
