I don't think Russell 2k can ever be compared to ES or NQ as it moves more like Crude Oil, it not used as a hedge by big boys like those that use ES and NQ. Many forget that New York uses futures to hedge stocks and why ES is such a herkey jerky market and NQ is similar.
Isn't there a lot of slippage with the Dow and Russell
They will be going away next year it seems http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/what-is-with-exchange-fees.299170/
I am considering pay the fees once I get my grove back. I had to reformat my trading plan altogether this year. So NQ is fine while I adjust. Today for example TF has had 2, 6 point moves while NQ was only really playable short.
I trade for larger moves so not as relevant. TF volume may get worse increasing slippage with the new fees..
You're done already? There is probably at least one good trade left and there is a good chance we are going to trend till close... at least you shorted, I was all long :|
TF just ran 100 ticks straight while I'm stuck in this 60 tick NQ range...
