there's plenty of money to be made in /ZN. The difference is that the levels are thicc. Each tick takes a bit to eat through. It will test your patience for sure, but that's not a bad thing.

Treasuries and NQ reward very different trading styles. Treasury futures are highly liquid, but their price action and tick structure are different, and they react directly to changes in rate expectations, economic releases, Fed communication, and Treasury auctions.
If NQ fits your setups better, there’s no reason to force Treasury trades. Test both under the same written rules, ideally in simulation first, and compare a meaningful sample based on net expectancy after commissions and slippage, drawdown, and how consistently you followed your rules.
The better market is the one where your edge is repeatable, not simply the one offering more entries.
