After a lot of back and forth, I have decided to focus mainly on the MES. I was trading a variety of markets before which included MCL, M6E, MGC and the ZN. The MES has abundant liquidity and it moves basically all day. The goal is to build up to trading the ES. I have the ES DOM and the MES DOM up right next to each other and I trade directly from the DOM.
Hope everyone is well. Happy trades.
