I know what the QQQ is, but what is the ES and the NQ?

I have another newbie question. I am looking for any information on Level II quotes. I can go anywhere on the Net or the library and find out information on RSI, MACD or any other indicator. The one thing I can't find is using Level II quotes. Any ideas?

I am new to this site and fairly new to daytrading. I have some questions about trading before the opening bell and at the start of the opening. I have read to stay away from the open for anywhere to a half hour to an hour to let the program sellers get out and let the stock patterns start to...
