You saying you think FX would suit me?

Never traded any FX so far.

I started out swing trading stocks and then was sucked into the world of day trading and have specialized in ES for the last years.

I think for day trading I would stick with ES and now probably NQ, but at some point I'd like to start swing trading as well and then I could see FX as an option.

NQ now is much better liquidity , ES start to be lazy crop now. Generally both used to be similar but now ES very slow lazy Dolly..

Well, NQ is a different animal for sure. Similar, but definitely not quite the same. With the exception of a few slower days recently I'd say ES is still moving plenty, though.

Are you trading mostly NQ, then?
 
Today's session is also a good example of how favorable NQ is compared to ES, but maybe I'm just catching it at a special time. Strong trend higher on NQ which kept going while ES got stuck after the initial move. Twice the reward for the same risk.
 
95% of traders have been super bears for months . Most traders tell you what happened already . It’s why so few can make a living at this

Definitely a lot of bears around, but there's always plenty of bulls, too.

Traders, by definition, should only concern themselves with short term direction, IMO. Having a locked down bias/prediction and not updating that on proof of the contrary is a recipe for disaster.

I stopped making sense of the market fundamentally a long time ago, so I just keep it 100 % technical.

The current market seems to have a lot of people scratching their heads, both bulls and bears. Wouldn't be surprised if we see another major reversal lower at some point. Nobody appears to know anything.
