I feel.like this summer has been very enlightening to my trading and showing me what I need to do vs what i want to do.
Want: I want to trade nasdaq futures because I see all the money that can be made.
Need: I need to trade Dow Futures because I have a actual strategy that has been forward tested in live markets and has proven a positive expectancy.

The greed monkey on my shoulder tells me the nasdaq is the road to riches but when I trade ot I only thi k in fear and greed not with logic and reason.

So I am making the decision to move away from nasdaq futures and focus on Dow futures. Trading is all about doing what needs to be done not what wants to be done.

I can understand where you are at... when you see postings saying 'easy day $2000' its easy for $ signs in the brain to take over..

Trouble is.. I can't read RTH es or nq with any confidence.... Too fast and wild for me. Stops are too wide...

I live in the UK so I have the choice of London or RTH sessions. 8.00am for London, 2.30pm for RTH, so I've got the choice.

I choose London because I can read it, I feel much more confident, imo, it behaves better, but... instead of $2000 days I hope fpr $500 days... but I'm happier as I'm expecting a win, rather than gambling for a win using much larger stops.

My point... you've got to do what you're best at, and feel happier and with more confidence. Once you have your confidence, its a then easier to increase size to get those larger returns...

Thanks yes I completely agree with you! Its about the process not the profits
