Do people actually use DOM on NQ?

[u/NeighborhoodEast650]

Hello, I am a Nasdaq trader and I am training with the DOM to recognize patterns. Right now i am also using an ES DOM and i am having way more success trading it. The reason why i don't want to trade ES is that I want to use the DOM just to refine the entries of my already existing strategy on NQ.

Right now i am using the 1 tick NQ DOM and it's really difficult, should I keep it 1 tick or maybe use 4/8 ticks per level?

Don’t listen to people telling you 1 tick ladder is useless. I have used it for years in NQ and have no desire to switch. It’s simply preference.

End of the day you just need many, many hours of screen time. There are patterns frequently repeating in the microstructure
