Yes, ultimately how many dollars I am making should definitely be a part of proving to myself that I am good to go for live trading ES. Its a great idea. So, let me add it as condition # 3. 3. I should be able to double the account from 5k to 10k along with other 2 conditions I wrote above, before I will go back to live trading ES.
I trade only from my laptop screen, I am going to buy another monitor in next few days. Will keep the papertrader always on that platform. Not having another monitor has always been a big reason for not being able to utilize papertrader properly. Having papertrader and live system on the same monitor messes up trading/order entry/concentration.
