yep, absolutly, but its the definition of "under fair value" that makes for opportunity

but i do hope you were not infering that a big merchant bank might get a really big client order for stocks and then front run the order with their own futures postion, and then sell out their position when they had finished buying the clients order!

As a daytrader, (of the NQ) and one who responds to market movement; what do I, or should I care what leads what?

Don's answer seems to make sense trying to follow stocks, but I just cannot see a need to care in trading the NQ.

Do ya'll use this knowledge somehow in trading the NQ?

Thanks.

YES - knowing futures drive the cash - and watching the interaction of the two is key for me in trading futures

The same resulting signals would be real useful and give a real edge in trading stocks - but i have yet to try it - as i already use intra-market strategies - - but i will try stocks soon

Yes, now add the relationship between the S&P and Dow futures/cash and see what you have.

Steve...I assume you're being "tongue in cheek" here, because we all know that the firms do this with the justification that they will be "providing inventory."
