  1. Hello deaddog,

    So are you telling me, ALL you guys here on ET forum every day posting are NOT trading the ES futures market trying to make +$1 million per year??? You gotta be kidding me right??

    So why do you trade for?

    What odds are you willing to accept ?
    1/99 ? You bet 99 to earn 1 ?
    +99 refund if it’s a win.

  5. I mean $1 million per year.

    Is this not every ET member goal or what they currently doing?

    IDK … even 1M isn’t a wild dream.
    10M and we begin to talk.

    Average 1 point per day.
    If you trade about 100ES per day,
    You can pretty much make 1M per year.

  7. Hello Sekiyo,

    now we talking. now we talking.

    So what's all this bullshit talking so much for then like I am saying something far fetch or something.

    If you not making a million dollars a year trading ES, your ass do not have no business saying nothing to me negative. Better get to clicking. That goes for @deaddog too, he always saying slick shit.

    I am really starting to believe noone on this forum makes millions trading the ES, just blowing smoke bullshitting.

    I can't speak for anyone here but myself but I trade to support my lifestyle. I am well capitalized and don't need to make a million a year. For me the goal (1 mil) is unrealistic based on my trading abilities.
    Maybe I should set that as a goal, for me it would be an audacious objective. However I'm happy at the end of the year if after expenses my liquid net worth is higher than at the start of the year.

  9. Hello Sekiyo,

    Exactly, so why is everyone talking like what I am saying is rocket science or something

    4 ticks a day times 100ES contracts is $1 million per year.

    Like, yall be making stuff so damn complicated, it really gets very damn annoying.

    Make 4 damn ticks a day with 100ES contracts. I mean, is there anything else to talk about??

    Hmm
    Lets take the average odds of failure in trading, 90%.
    So my payout should be 1.1
    so $100 bet, returns 110 , or if he does make it, I lose $90 to the counterparty
