NQ is $5 per tick, and MNQ $0.50 per tick (but with MNQ the commissions are ridiculously high, compared to the tick-value, which would naturally put almost anyone off anything approaching "scalping").

I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard of anyone being consistently profitable trading anything else (apart from HFT trading-floor specialists with special hardware and software and a desk next door to the exchange, of course!).
My experience may be atypical, though: all the independent/retail scalpers I've ever known are former institutional traders, but certainly none of those (myself included) would ever dream of trying to scalp NQ or MNQ independently!!
