    Why are the Q's so popular?

    Hi all, I've been trying to figure out why the QQQQ options are so popular? Is it because they're inexpensive (monetarily) and reallllly liquid? Or is it because of something else? I read somewhere online about it being "statistically predictable" but I have no idea what they mean by that...

    Dow Mini vs. emini S&P - which one???

    Good points. I started trading the Er2, and it didn't fit my laid back personality AT ALL so I wasn't doing well with it. I have since switched to YM, which has been a gift as it's a much slower moving contract, and that completely fits who I am and makes trading much more comfortable.

    Trading YM Consistently?

    I'll second that. Learn how to incorporate Market Profile into you methodology and just look at price. Price is king.

    Linnsoft Investor R/T and Macintosh issues? PC users, too...

    Linnsoft Investor R/T and Macintosh issues? PC users, too...

    Hi there, I'm curious as to if there are ANY mac users out there on this forum that perhaps use IRT for their charting? I seem to be alone in the Mac world and would love some other Mac traders to network with! THANKS Chris

    Investools

    I'll second that. Sure, INVESTools got me interested in the game, but they show you NOTHING that you can't learn here or from some serious book reading. Am I pissed that I spent the money on the small program? Yes, very pissed. They're all about the sale as far as I see it.

    Thanks for the insights. I didn't know if it was something that was a pre-cursor to a crash or something. Im quickly learning to not think something will happen... :)
