From
my experience future always track the index. For example either you trade
QQQQ or NQ
the
only real difference is the leverage.
Comparing futures to equities if you mean individual stocks, the future
never goes bankrupt therefore it's
safer
to buy. Futures, both commodities and indexes appear to better comply with
the technical analysis
studies in comparison with individual stocks. Many individual
stocks are not liquid enough to trade and
those
most liquid would track corresponding industry/group
indexes.
Never
heard about Track N TRade before. Looks interesting
Vladimir,
"It doesn't provide
continuous contracts, but for ES and YM you can
use SPY/SPX and DIA/DJI if
you need longer term picture."
-- yes, it occured to me that I can
use SPX instead of ES, and DIA
instead of YM. But, does the future always
track the index? Wouldn't
the future move much faster than the index if the
index made a sudden
large move?
How do you like trading futures
compared to equities?
By the way, have you heard of Track N Trade for
backtesting futures?
