Thread,

Does anyone here actively trade the QQQ, SPY, or HHH on an intraday basis? I like the movement of the HHH but the specialist always has a 3/8 spread on it. The SPY normally trades with only 3/16 spread which isn't too bad. I am starting to look at these instruments more and more because their is no uptick needed and they offer great liquidity.

Sometimes when the market starts tanking there is no uptick to be found. The above instruments can be pretty good trading vehicles but I think one has to do at least 1K shares to make it worth while.

Thoughts,

Leland

P.S. I do trade them occasionally but not everyday
