The NQ with John Q

Welcome to my ongoing day trading experiment focused on semi-automated NQ (MNQ) futures trading using NinjaTrader.

The channel documents playback sessions, results, and observations as part of a structured process to track performance, refine execution, and explore how disciplined, rule-based trading evolves over time.

Rather than signals or hype, the emphasis is on process, risk control, and emotional neutrality, with transparency around what’s working, what’s not, and how the approach adapts.

The goal is to build a shared space for thoughtful discussion and eventually connect with other traders interested in disciplined, sustainable trading approaches.
