Quote from dvst8:

1-2 points a day on the ES is reasonable on 1 contract. If you could do that on a daily basis, you're moving in the right direction.

oh yes, 1 to 2 points a day on ES is quite reasonable on one contract. And if you are an Elite Trader and post here every day I don't see why that would not be possible.

Just think of it, once you start scaling up you would eventually own the world.

Yeah, I would say that's about right, don't go for the moon, just average a simple 1 to 2 points daily. That's what 95% of most professional traders do (and they have read a lot of books.)

95% of the 1%.. except 95 is derived out of someone's ass probably as no study hasn't been presented as of yet...

Average 2.7 points a day trading the TF. At most, 2 trades a day.

Been trading for 8 months now.

If you make . . .

* $100,000 in profits during the next five years or
$20,000 profits per year for the next five years or
$1,667 profits per month for the next 60 months or
$384 profits per week for the next 260 weeks or
$75 per day on average for the next 1,320 trading days

. . . you will boost that to $1,000,000 in the next five years with proper position sizing.

You're projecting almost twice that. Does $2 million in five years sound reasonable to you?
