    Another Very Simple Trading Strategy

    actually I was up against my daytrade limit so I opted to try the QQQ Single stock future. I placed the order at about 10:05 and when I checked back in at 10:45 I was up enough to make me consider closing my position. I decided not to, but I finally closed it at about 2:30 for a teeny tiny profit.
