Max leverage for SP500 & NASDAQ

Hi there,

I'm trading the SP500 & the NASDAQ intraday,
holding positions between 30min up to 2 hours max.

Is there a way to get maximum leverage,
to turn a 1% move into 30% or more.
(don't worry, will still apply the 2% risk management rule)

Thanks
 
How about the daily QQQ and SPY options?

A 1% move will give you way more than a 30% gain.

Yep. That's what I'm looking for.

The question is:

1) Where can I read about the daily QQQ

2) I'm intraday trading. Do SPY options move align with SPX within 30-60min time frame ?
 
Thanks. Do NQ futures move align with NQ on a 30-60min timeframe ?

More like a microsecond timeline. If not it would be arbed to hell. Who knows, those crazy firms who vie for their antennae towers to be 2 meters closer to the CME than the next guy probably can do that.
 
I'm on IBKR, max 6x leverage.

I'm asking about different instruments,
maybe some contracts instead of buy&sell,
(don't know enough about various instrument available)
Try AMP: $500 or $400 per ES contract! Just don’t trade more than one contract until you develop an edge.
 
Thanks. Do NQ futures move align with NQ on a 30-60min timeframe ?

NQ futures intraday chart will be essentially identical to NDX intraday chart.

Some brokers have $500/contract intraday margin for NQ.
A 1% move in NQ now would be ~154 pts. x $20 = $3,080 with 1 contract.
At $500 margin per contract that's a 616% gain with max leverage.
