Russell2000
RUSSELL2000 US INDEXAs i had mentioned earlier in my chart, Russell 2000 has done what was expected of him. Sure it went done first to take out stops but eventually it did not take much time for him to get right back up, we still have more room to the upside left before we see some side ways trading. As its still in the range bound territory so bears will have there way once again as well.

Update idea
Russell 2000 Futures Show a Bearish Megaphone PatternI saw this yesterday AM went went short one future. I closed that last night at the support line. I am sorry I didn't have time to post this then but I had to leave for work.
I will try to short it again as the downward channel develops (if it does). I will be watching for more weakness in the other US equities indices. There are no COT data on Barchartdotcom.
Spread trade with Russel2000 and Nasdaq100Recently, the Russel2000 and the Nasdaq100 are developing more and more in different directions. Since we expect a weaker stock market in the coming weeks and months and the Nasdaq100 can drop significantly lower, the possibility exists for a spread trade in both assets. The approach is relatively simple: Long in the Russel2000 and short the Nasdaq100.
IMPORTANT here is to look at the nominal value of the individual futures in order to find the right relationship/position size. Taking into account the nominal value and the current implied volatility, you would buy two Russel Future (RTY) and sell one Nasdaq Future (NQ).
It is interesting that the margin requirements are very low, if you put it directly as a combo, at the same time the financial risk is easy manageable.
