Thanks for following along. I could try to make a case for ES over NQ, but really one isn't better than the other. The main reason I switched was because I was learning from a great trader who was trading ES. It was easier for me to follow along. I find the action on ES 5 sec much easier to read due to the larger tick size, but the price is its not as granular as NQ. I find there to be overall less noise on ES.

I know a lot of you are following DB's examples and I think that alone is absolutely enough reason to stick to NQ. Just makes me a kind of loner.

Re: Jonbig04's Log

Thread name changed

I started this thread when I was a few days shy of 21, I just turned 22. I've been at this for over a full year now. So that was somewhat misleading. Also, I'm no longer trading NQ. The biggest reason though is that hopefully the next year will be still a ton of learning still, but also a ton of implementation. So my entries will be more like a log than a 2 page summary of why I'm doing what I'm doing.
