i always but the Russell on Dips when the nq and es are rallying. this morning and today are a perfect Example. it still must be times, but i enjoy the tick size for filling limits n stops and it can really trend for the day once it picks a direction...
I play it as well, but I feel like a cat that's used 7 of his 9 lives. It's basically hammered out of the gate many days, puts in a bottom into the 10:45-11:00 am time slot, rallies for a bit then hits a brick wall and dies into the close. Just feels to me that it's hammered much of the time in a spread style trade where they are either buying nq or es and shorting russell.
