Anyone here making over $100k just trading ES ?

Blah blah blah. Same ol' same ol' I've heard throughout the years. Nothing I don't already know. Been at this game for a while now and know the in's and outs of it. And my job is FAR from a 9-5 job, lol

Just an FYI, I work in law enforcement and don't plan on giving up my pension to trade fulltime until I've made $1.5 million with $1 million saved in cash. Will it ever happen ? Maybe, but if it doesn't I wont lose any sleep over it. I'm happy with the way my life has turned out so far (only 27 yrs old) and I dont need money to make me happy.

$100k was an arbitrary #. If you can pull $100k u can surely pull double triple or quadruple if size doesnt f#ck up your pyschology.

Obviously diversifying the intstruments you trade is better, but that had nothing to do with the question.


I love how in ET, you ask a simple question, and you are told that you can't trade, trading is too hard, don't trade, trade other instruments, etc.

I bet you every single one of you that answered does not make that kind of $. yet all you pikers have responded.

 

Why do you ask such stupid questions then? If you traded futures you know what the potential earnings are. You made 15k . Now you want 100K .. Get real .. Stick to your big career . I don't work 9-5 job. Whatever big shot . You should forget about trading . It's not for weak minded people like yourself. Your a lost soul. Your Only dreaming & it's time to wake up..

 

If you made $15k on 1 contract, now you can make $60k with 4 contracts, and so on. There's no need to improve. Trying that might actually bring you down.

 

You did Not read it right. He made 15 k trading for the full year .. your too funny.

 

$100K/day, day trading ES? Interesting. How many contracts do you trading in an average day to make that?

 

he was being sarcastic . don't you get it.. lol.. got to love this site.

 

Take the OT till fall then look at it again, swing trades probably the way to go come fall, 17k plus whatever ur swings bing in. A couple years would be nice??????????

 

$15,000 is pretty good. A nice chunk of change. wiesman02, how much starting equity you use? How much leverage? What kind of strategies you employ?
$15K could pay the rent with some left over.

 

ES has lots of scale and $500 margins, so as long as psychology isn't the issue, sizing up is the only thing limiting $15,000 from $150,000.

 

I'm not a cop, idiot. But thanks for jumping to conclusions.
