Index Futures vs. Currency Futures

That's certainly my overall impression (as a former trader of the Dax and a current one of NQ).
I've been wrong before, but I suspect that the "key issue" here, if there is one, was correctly answered in the very first response.
Hello all,
I am running a system (Ninjatrader) I designed by myself since 3 months and I am very pleased with the results. My approach is described best as inatraday trend following. Entry criteria is price action with some filters, but nothing fancy.
What bothers me, is, that my system does good on index futures (NQ, TF, YM, FDAX) but not so good on currency futures and I don't know why. Because of the way I designed it, it is very hard and time consuming to track and analyze the trades. So in reality I have no clue why it's not working in currency futures.
If my underlying assumptions about the market are not compatible with the currency market, then I am fine with it. I just want to know. Is there someone who can shed some light on it? Please educate my, it really bothers me.
Thank you very much!
The only one that could shed light on this is you, since your presenting rather vague information as to what you put into your system. This is really OK by me because i wouldn't share my hard work either. For now you should just be pleased with your results and just go forwards.
