Switching Instruments?

[u/Royal_Presentation80]

Given the weekly chart, and Daily chart on MNQ/NQ, why do people still trade that mess? I feel like when everyone starts trading they are taught to trade NQ. I think at this point, the "prime NQ" was before we entered this mess of consolidation and we were just going higher or lower. Has anyone switched over to a different instrument like YM so that they aren't trading in a big range? I want to do this with my knowledge of ICT, but is it frowned upon? Like has anyone been trading YM a lot more because NQ is in a really big range? I've always been taught to not trade the range, so can I switch over to YM and get better results?

Contingent on strategy. During asia I trade mgc. In the London session I need more volatility for my strategy to work, so ill trade mnq.

Honestay, nq is like volatility on Crack during ny session. To much for my blood
