How many ticks per contract are you averaging?

  1. Yours is an interesting thread.

    At times I have earned 80 to 100 ticks per contract ... but overall, my average take is 8 to 10 ticks, per contract, per trading session.

    ***

    BTW, to get the number of ticks a trader has earned simply take the dollar value of their post and translate it by $12.50 (one tick on the ES) to get an apples-to-apples comparison.

    For example:

    Translates to $100 per contract, per session (20 YM Points = $100). So the number of ticks this trading strategy generates when compared to the ES is 8 ticks, which is a pretty good average.
