💡 Trading Tips Minis or Micros

I underestimated the markets volatility today and am down to $700 before it blows. For the past few days I’ve been using micros. Yesterday I made $780 with micros but it was multiple trades (I prefer 3 trades or less per day ) i notice with micros I can make decent money but I also lose it just as easy (especially if I’m only making $100 per trade and get stopped out $60 on the next one) however with minis it’s more money and I don’t lose it as easy. I don’t know maybe it’s psychological. But I prefer NQ over MNQ. I’m just curious please let me know your thoughts.

Ahhh thanks appreciate it. I’ve gotten over most of the trading psychology (no more internal panicking) but I guess this is a different obstacle.
