I trade index ETFs daily and futures intraday. The reason is again leverage.
I don't want to risk overnight gap in futures.
It is right that once you experience futures trading you'd prefer them over the
equities.

Vladimir,
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.
In your experience, how would you compare trading the index versus
trading the futures? For example, trading ES vs. SPX, or NQ vs.
QQQQ,... I know the leverage is very different, but besides that how
has your experience been?
I have heard that once a trader moves from stocks/indexes to futures,
they never return to stocks...
