Stocks that track Nasdaq

L

llljjj

Does anyone know which stocks track the Nas futures the best? The ones which have the highest correlation? I am looking for alternatives to trading the Futures and the QQQ's.

I work at a prop firm and I not able to trade the futures. The QQQ's are my best alternative, except that I can only trade them via NYSE or AMEX from my firm's trading platform.....don't ask me why....which often makes it difficult to trade them. Any ideas would be appreciated. thanks
 
a lot of high volume chips and biotechs - amat, klac, intc ..... bgen, amgn, pdli, hgsi .... also msft, csco, vrsn, vrts .... I am forgetting a bunch.

The strongest stocks will lead as the futures set new highs and the weakest will lead with new lows. If you watch a new high/low ticker this will become obvious.

hope this helps....
 
I agree with Robert, AMAT would be near the top of my list, would also add MSFT as being a good "snapshot" of the market condition.
 
Thanks for the help. I have been using klac/amat/msft/ as a nas trading proxy for the most part (or going off my insight machine for stocks making highs/lows) , but I know I should look for a more appropriate substitute.

That topology chart is great. Thanks for all the suggestions.
