Why MES and MNQ are useful for practice
Micro futures are popular because they let traders practice index futures movement with smaller contract exposure. In a simulated evaluation, they are useful because they show whether your strategy and discipline can survive real market movement.
MES often feels smoother for newer traders. MNQ can move faster and punish chasing. Practicing both can help you learn which market fits your process.
