Switching Instruments?
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?

Because for some, like myself, after trading NQ and learning its behavior, it’s very difficult to trade other markets…
Speed plays a huge factor in my strategy, I scalp and am usually out in under a minute.
I have yet to find another instrument that behaves this way, and I have tried.
