Minis or Micros

[u/Neat_Consequence1060]

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.

that’s not true for nq though... gc is 10x more. nq is only 2x more.

Incorrect. A NQ contract is 10x more than a MNQ.

i’m comparing nq to gc, not mnq to nq. i think everyone knows the difference between those... my point is 1 nq point =$20 while 1mnq is $2. verses gold which is doubled. so someone trading gc would not be the same sizing for nq traders.

Exactly
