IMO, it trends longer than others, also the payoff is higher. An average day is 12-15 points, so a few points here and there can add up. I go for 2-3 pts, it's not alot from the average range, but it's $100 per point. Not sure if YM has the same payoff for the same trend. I notice on days the markets shows itself flat end of day, say open to close is 1-2 pts, yet the Russell has had a full day with 10-15 points range. Volatility is the answer I reckon.
