Geez, you ask this question on every thread. Just try it out and see for yourself. I am sure you can make more trading Nasdaq but you could also lose a lot faster too.

Thats good, keep trying it with small size until you get more comfortable. The only way to learn is to take small, calculated risks and build from there.
