Nq - - Qqqq - - Qid

A fantastic trio to trade, but I can't figure this out: If the NQ moves one tick or one point, how much can't you expect the QQQQ and QID to move?
 
Edited restatement of the question:

Some one told me that one tick on the NQ equals 3 pennies on the QQQQ's. I believe him to be a reliable source, but I don't know for sure myself.

How many shares of the QQQQ's does one NQ contract equal?

They are different products... can't be compared like that. However, they are being arbitraged constantly, you can easily reverse engineer to get the answer.



It can easily be done by taking the high and low of QQQQ and NQ between 9:30 to 4:00 (not 4:15).

Last week, I had the same question on ES and SPY.

SPY intraday range: $1.5
ES 9:30 to 4:00 range: 15pt

$1.5 : 15pt => $0.1 : 1pt

1pt = 4 ticks => $0.1/4 => 1 tick = $0.025



Now, can anyone tell me the ratio between NQ and QQQQ?
