Futures are slow movers price wise. You can find markets that haven't moved 10% in a year. Put that up against stocks that can move 10% in a few minutes.

Those tiny moves in futures means something because of say 95% margin, not ampitude of price. You need to move away from classic futures indicators or apply different interputations.
