I just read an article in the Dallas Morning News with the title "What if most people are above average?" by Faye Flam. It is a very good article....
I know that is how it is supposed to be. But if it is arb'd the way I have heard, then it is not really doing that. Am I missing something?
No, as I have said, trading ES is the same as trading the large index. I said nothing about smoothing. My question is how can you apply TA to an...
The premise is this - ES, arb'd to SP500, moves almost exactly the same as the index. Anyone trading the ES is essentially trading the larger...
