Well, I thought this debate for me was over. Now I am gonna sound like a nut job.
I ran Sim on NQ and backtested and the results looked great. Better profits than ES.
Went live with NQ this week… it has been very inconsistent for me. Results are not even close to what was in Sim. I am doing exactly what I was in Sim but getting whipped out of trades and hitting stops. Yes, I have tried wider stops.
while there are more dramatic moves on NQ, it may not suit my trading…
