A daily chronicle of results of one retail futures trader trading my own accounts. I define myself as a day trader and generally swing for at least a few points most of the time. But I do make the occasional scalp for ticks too.

Tues. 7/30 +0.2%
12:30pm CDT - Still at it. Liking the Micro NQ for no-pressure trading and working out new methodology.
For Micros, on 5/28/19 I noted volume on that day compared to full E-mini equivalents was
13% for MES/ES
15% for MYM/YM
30% for MNQ/NQ
22% for M2K/RTY
Today I looked at total July volume.
20% MES/ES
29% MYM/YM
56% MNQ/NQ
27% M2K/RTY
Quite the continued increase. At $1.25/tick for MES vs. 50 cents/tick for the other 3 it can make more sense to trade these rather than a demo account. The biggest issue is most broker's commissions require you to make at least 2 or 3 ticks just to breakeven.
