PRODUCT BOUNDARY

NQ, MNQ and QQQ: one context, three execution surfaces.

Why a shared NASDAQ profile still needs explicit symbol mapping, tick rounding and lifecycle checks.

01

The product contract

NASDAQ Intraday Flow uses NQ as the master context. One Script supports NQ, MNQ and QQQ on standard one-minute charts.

That shared context does not make the instruments interchangeable. Their prices, minimum increments and market-data paths must be handled deliberately.

02

Mapping is part of validation

A master plan is checked against each supported symbol at the same point in time. Entry context, stop behavior and exits must agree after the documented price mapping and rounding rules.

  • NQ and MNQ require futures-aware tick rounding.
  • QQQ uses its own price surface and feed.
  • Each symbol must complete a confirmed-to-exit lifecycle during the forward gate.
03

Chart and data limits

The launch contract supports standard one-minute charts only. Non-standard chart types and unsupported symbols are blocked rather than interpreted approximately.

Time-synchronized CME and QQQ data entitlement is an operational requirement for release testing.

04

Alert discipline

Alerts must be created from the current Script version and documented chart boundary. A Pine update that changes product behavior requires existing Alerts to be rebuilt.

NASDAQ Pro stays Under Review until mapping, Alert delivery and lifecycle checks have no unresolved mismatch.
