ES, YM, NQ? for what reasons?

And in your opinion ES leads YM or viceversa?

I 've found the ES very difficult to scalp due to the execution of limit orders. On the other hand, the slippage is a rare event

NQ is probably the most profitable, but a bit difficult to trade due to the performance of 3/4 shares (AAPL etc.)

YM is more easy to trade and price levels are more respected than ES

TF is horrible

Any comments would be appreciated

TIA

It would help us to help you if you told us what trade duration you consider to be a scalp.

So Crates has a good point, peoples definition of "scalping" seems to vary.

Yes. I was with him and/or her until he and/or she used "limit order" and "scalp" in the same sentence.

15/20 trades with 4 lots each day

Duration? It depends. From few seconds to few minutes

So?

So, no one scalps that much with limit orders.

We don't know how you trade to be able to compare.

If u are winning, then stick with that market.
