Thanks guys. And momo, thank you very much for the advice. I am relieved to hear that using a market order in all instances is not a sign of lazy...
Yeah that's what I meant. That's interesting that ES has a higher daily dollar range. I would have thought it was the other way around....
I'm just starting out in futures. I'm wondering why it seems everyone trades the ES instead of the NQ. Is it because of the higher volatility? I'm...

Thanx for reco. Did SierraChart have any problems with nasdaq stocks this morn? There is still is a hole in my charts. I'm an IB customer so this...
