Hello Traders

I have been trading U.S, Index futures and I want to make the switch to either Oil or Natural Gas. I have found them easier to scalp, anyone ever left the indexes? any energy traders out there?

Why switch? I trade since years ES and CL and IMHO it is a great combination.

I have left the ES three times to trade CL but always come back to the ES. CL does not move enough for me 80% of the time.
