Why lower TF /NQ chart is smoother than /ES?

[MarkBrown]

You didnt grasp the basic math i posted in my reply

NQ = 7500/0.25 = 30,000 ticks in total at the current price. So more smooth than YM which is 26,000. ES is only 11000 ticks to the current price level.

to carry this further would not volume also play into the equation?

Even though the daily volume of /ES is much bigger than /NQ, why 1 minute chart of /NQ is smoother than /ES?

Define smooth.
A bid/ask spread of more than one tick is lack of smoothness for some traders.

On average, the ES, NQ and YM have approximately the same monetary value in total range based on tics.
